but hell.. onto the pics! :)

here it is at home, on the towtruck:
then in the garage.. random pics
as you can see, i started to put all sorts of lenses/rubbers/bumpstops on.. aswell as a GTS rim JUST to see what itd look like! ;p
how good do the cad-plated bolts holding it together look though! so bright on the yellow... :)
oh, and on a now less-interesting note, ive been polishing the stainless. all by hand though - i think im going to need to buy a big buffing disk....
