Your conduit as wrapped, labelled and will be posted tomorrow and your back wheels appear to be on the wrong sides.
Jeez that still looks TOTALLY MENTAL!

It weights about 250kg standard but i have taken the power steering pump off and the air con pump so mine now must be 220kg at most. It puts out 225hp
but im planning to supercharge it after IVA (winter 2010 project).
