this page not done yet. FRONT END REBUILD

OK Josh and I were scrapping and scrubbing the empty hole where the motor was and I decided to re-do the front end. Now what means the car will NOT be done this summer. But it will have a new front suspension and motor. It's a might as well thing. LOL
Here is the kit I just ordered
