i would have sold you my kit.. but i jogged it on for a handsome reward.

At last the search has paid off,found a kit after 6 months in Germany, had it couriered over from Germany, cost a bloody fortune, well worth it
cant wait to see the finished product,wont be ready until April though depending on Mr Topless
