Title: first build in over 3 years,83 GT Pro
Post by: stu27 on August 23, 2016, 09:06 PM: after having sold everything in 2013 bar one I thought id get back on the horse again
bought this as a complete off Daz BADDH,with the help of joff who put us in touch with each other after a chat we'd had
was a stunner to begin with but just wanted to change some of the parts to make it feel like mine(loved a lot that was already on it so fair play to daz for that)
and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out
