suani Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 the main problem with it is the time it takes to do all the work, unless the head's actually been ****ed from it, you'll only need a few smaller parts.damn shame, I'm sure you'll get it back on the road soon and be enjoying driving him in the sun again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
