they are an exclusive item that i make myself,
if you want a set made let me know and i'll do them cheap for you
Nahh, seriously, i did make them myself but, i just used some electrical tape on them,
pretty easy to do yourself if you wanted to

he's still got one or two scars on him but hopefully they'll be fine,
He's running great now though, all i have to do now is get the spotlights on and we're back in business
Hows Benny btw?

Kaz is currenty in the workshop getting a facelift..... During his revamp a polish worker decided while welding he would just wear tinted work goggles rather than a welding mask.........

that was just a temporary solution until the front end is fixed, it pushed in a bit too much to put it back where it was infront of the alternator, should be fine when he's fixed
