Yip, sounds familiar, they all do that! As soon as a fun job pops up then they wont let you do it because it's "too dangerous" or "needs practice, which you dont have". BS, its just too much fun that they have to do it all! :evil:

CK, There's nothing left....I've heard of cutting out the rust but don't you think this is going a bit too far? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously though, this is going to be one very cool ride! I love the buggy shape, what model is it? Give us a few teasers.....what you thinking of doing inside...what colour.....wheels, etc? We all want to know :shock:
