Got the nosecone of this week and the wings,was going to hack the wings of till i found out how much they want for second hand ones so these will now be used for my other shell along with the nosecone.It was nice to see my work of 4 years ago is still quite hole and not to rusty

it's been a while now (over 2 years) but the garage is empty and nothing planned in the near future (apart from minor things to get the mex on the road) so it's time to start my own car got most of the body bits heres what i have so far
