That looks good :hangloose:
I think it would have looked kick ass if you had to use some of the purple that is on the bug in the back ground on it aswell

I have wanted to build a guggy for a long time now, last month I was given a number of someone that has a body for sale but I had a choise to make :?

Either buy the body or get my Westys lisence and road worthy sorted out

Not Prizes for geusing which one I chose
