The car looks as ugly as the queen atm and once he's finished with it it'll look like Eva Longoria.

No because the parts I sell off this are paying for the new parts.
And it wouldn't be as fun

So dan, did you swap the sw for this or sell the sw on? Any other ideas on tuning it or is it simply going to be styling?
