hahaha stfu stuart.

But It wasnt JUST a swap.. I redid all the suspension and brakes and other shit. ;)

I got the brakes/clutch bled. I took her out for a spin around the block.. feels soo good to finally be driving it.. best feeling in the world right now. Ive still got some work to do (obviously).. but its coming along.. Ill have a vid of me driving it tomorrow!!!

That pic was before i drove it.. so the springs have settled a little bit more
