The car is in need of some work will explain in a moment , so made a stupid offer on it

What a great buy. Nice one. Did something similar myself [bought a cheap blaze mechanically sound but in need of body maintenance] it's been fun gradually improving it. Hope the mount kit does the trick.________________________________________ FORMER BLAZE GTI-6 OWNERPrevious owner of Phase 1 GTI-6 P524MPU in blue |
