Hey Troy, looking good dude. The twin pot brakes are great but a bit ott unless you're at the top level of competition, the ones you have are great as they are - just my opinion in order to save a few quid. That crack in the pipe can be welded up and will give you a reasonable spare. The body mounts are only pence so thats not a bad thing.

Why has he put a comp/marder alloy wishbone in with the deal? it's a saleable item so no worries but no use on this car.

Looks like a good car though. Have fun mate.
