My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
yeah, i figure 60-70 in parts, including some trial and error.


copy this similar and i could get close.


i bet to spec this and have it built would be 100-125k.


which you could pick it up after they got done building it and sell it for 70k:icon_rofl:


labors of love they are.

its a lifestyle right? is that how its justified:icon_confused:

i hope someone gives ya a reasonable offer so you can build a family rig.

Yeah exactly. It could be copied but Its the fact that its tested and reliable that makes it valuable to me. I know exactly when and how everything is going to fail. For someone who just wants to get out there and have fun its perfect.

I hope to build a family wagon soon either way. Its just going to take longer and not be as fast. Lol

I needed to pull my header off today to fix a crack in it so decided to take some flex pics because i have to take the coilovers off to get the header out. I didnt want to mess with shock presssures so didnt deflate the bump so its still got more uptravel left but a pretty cool flex shot either way.
