Title: At Last the goose has landed... New Pics added 25/09
Post by: childhooddream on September 09, 2011, 08:09 PM: Well as some of you may know I got this cali/expert off Sid about 3months ago but through being out of work at the time and funds being pretty low its taken me a little longer than I would have liked.

Thanks to everyone that has helped me with sourcing parts and being patient with payment etc.

Im building this weekend but thought would show you some sneak pics of it so far. hope you like.

Its my first proper build :)

As I received it from Sid- Trip to the powdercoaters I thought..
