      If you really want to save it you'll put the correct engine in there.

        Rims and stance seem perfect. Great job.

            Hey Mike, I was wondering if you guys were there. Didn't see you.

                I don't completely agree, but something may be in the works.

                thanks! Many times I felt that I had bitten off more than I could chew, but I'm glad I have been able to do most of the work myself.

                they were sitting in the storage of a local shop manager in manhattan beach. I think they came from hawaii/vortex in a trade.
