351GTW

I see you don't drive her too hard, hence the sticker is still mint on the rear tyres;)

Hope he's got "white thing" insurance, it costs a bit more but happens surprisingly often.

Ha ha,....of course you wouldn't, only a fool would do that : and you're looking at him. :voldar02: The worst part is the price that I sold it for.

on the bright ( maybe not ) side I replaced it with this rust bucket..







...and this is the last pic I have of the "repair" work so far..but its nearly finished now and so is my bank account :



I'll eventually start a build thread when I get all the pictures...

Damn - that's almost identical to mine, except yours is all one colour. Mine is also just a shell with the plenum removed etc

I'm cheating - I found a complete NOS plenum to replace my rusted one.

What I lack in metal working skills, I make up for in spending money
