More agressive looks, better cooling up front too. Plus it was my wifes first race car (brock vk) so its a retrotribute....

Dont fret over the watts link being crooked but i still need to make some shorter arms.
Coilovers are in and have a real nice action.
Diff is now a full spool sporting moser 31 spline axles. Brand new tailshaft too.
