[Z.hb71]

Well everything came to a stand still obr promised me my motor before their move, so I have no motor. Got a mail this morning (usa time) saying he will check on the order status .
While iv been waiting iv placed an order for a regular clutch. Its gonna get a fs with a ddm 9.5k spring and a new bell from what iv heard the probite dose not do well off road. Its also been cold and wet so iv held off painting

9.5k spring on road? Your gunna get alot of wheel spin. Be fun as feck though

Been contemplating a hack for some of the fine details when it comes to painting the shell. I like the idea of the panel lines showing but I don't fancy having to spray/cut them in what you guys think of using a sharpy marker and then spray over it?

[DougStar]
