Hey, great project.
Are you sure you are not still at school? I'm sure your English teacher would be proud of your spelling..

Tech 2 and 1 are both nice and sometimes its nice to see a car with no kit just clean lines and bright paint. I think the car will look awesome have you thought about the Ronal Turbo style rims? polished dish image split rims?? plain dish or style??? well so far so good...would like to see more pics!
