Just the bay for me lol.. who knows may paint it something lary in the future or just wrap it...

have been thinking about the colour for a while but when i think the engine is in etc you wont get to really see much of the paint as the ABF covers a lot of engine bay.. hey ho nevermind lol

Cant wait to get cracking on the car.. when weather permits lol
