Nice Trav, I love seeing budget builds! little bit devo I sold all that stuff lol. I only sold it to pay My painter and ended up spending it on My corolla haha! Nice work mate.

i didnt realise they made an exective in this colour " format" i thought it was a formula pack. good luck with your build and tidying it up mate.
