Project 504

[DubSteve]

Pretty much this car will be more than likely impracticle.

It won't be ready for the Nats but it will definately be ready this year, its in the capable hands of gods of VWs...

I'm a little bumbed but with it at the moment its way to good to just rush and put it back together.
