    Here is what she looks like after I made her my own. I lowered th efront an did some paint work. I am in the middle of swaping to the small bumpers. I need some brackest though.

    Yea it was on Racing Junk. I traded my 85 mustang for it. It is starting to grow on me more and more as I work on it and put my own little touches on it.
