4g63rotary 09-01-15 01:45 PM

Duuuuuude, Much like everyone here my jaw has dropped and mind is officially blown.

I hope to see your finished product in person one day! I've got a set of stock wheels laying around that I never ever plan to use Im not sure what condition yours are in. I'm selling on the forum, but I like your determination and want you to succeed. So if you want them they are yours....free. I'm in So Cal so you can come pick them up if you want them.

I may also have a couple of random things you many be able to use, I'll have to dig.

renjiv2 09-01-15 01:57 PM

Found your thread!! Great meeting you by the way. but just wow....when you said your car burned this is not what I imagined!

Good luck man! hopefully we cross paths again once this beast has been resurrected!!

bzebern 09-01-15 02:15 PM

thanks more free parts
