Why not
.
Actually, I have my daily driver (version R), One im getting complied to sell (16,000km). One I was building into a simulator for the computer and the one I bought today (EBay).
Actually just realised, I have 5 now not 4
. Im also wrecking one that I picked up last month.
Bit of damage I need to repair on the one im turning into a ute though. Been side-swiped on the passengers side:
Ahh well, have plenty of shells to cut repair panels out of. AZA reckons I should put a lift kit on it
. I might just do that to see how it looks.

It's not a question of WANT, it's a question of NEED..
I mean, who NEEDS 5 side skirts?

Yeah Aza, if they are OK, they are yours. I certainly dont need them on this project.

Dwayne this might be a strange coincidence but I have a rear left quarter panel freshly pressed from Mitsu, I dunno if you want it or not. It was special order so they got out the moulds and all.

Nah,
been thinking it over in my head. Im going to massacre the purple wreck ive got as a concept to see how it looks. Will probably make it up as i go along. First step will be to repair the damage on the white one.
