The never ending hole in my pocket

Recommended Posts

So we started to build my friends x8 for him. He will be Going 7mgte power'd cause he is a firm beliver in that motor i cant talk him out of it but he is getting a good deal on the motor and everything he needs. This is just the start we will be getting the motor in sometime next week hopefully and getting it running for a future event we have coming up. Here is our progress so far and some pics of the car.
