Derek??


Well JJ's has some work left to do on it as you can see. the panels are just ziptied on cause they are going to have to come off any ways for paint. The interior all needs put back together. and the headlights etc... But I am Selling the wheels. and I am buying the black TT m's. headers ORY, already has a magnaflo on it.
