New tank and lines will go in at some point

Next step is to prob now get the engine bay and underneath sandblasted, gonna be expensive to get it done right, but want it 100% | |

| because of the £££ of it
car is allready so much stiffer than it was, feels so diffrent going in to corners
i wanted a full cage because its cool, no other reason, as it will make it heavier, money spent on that means i couldnt afford the TB set up | |
