	An impressive turn around. The interior looks well smooth. The exterior mods look smart too, I'd of done it a bit more old fashioned and bad taste, but i can't deny it looks fab.

	Yea The idea from the start was to be really different and make something that someone couldnt replicate to easy. Reply to post above...build time is about 2 years off and on Also I just had a dyno run done..will go pick up exact results in about half hour and post them

	Fair play to going down a different route from the race look, interior is really tasteful and I even like those rims. Like the others said I'm not so hot on the sideskirts, but that doesn't matter... 'cos it's not mine! Good work fella, what part of NZ are you from? ;D

	In my utterly worthless opinion, the side skirts suck massive amounts of giraffe willy. However I can overlook this exterior faux pas by being totally blown away by that KERWALITEA interior. Truly a work of beauty, massive kudos. Love it.
