but dont tell me you are waiting for the throttle bodies
to come back from the painters ??

Wow, looks amazing. Can't wait to see it all together.

You have a nice rear end! Nissan 2 pots?

Yes it's the Nissan 2 pot callipers, if they pull up a Nissan Skyline they should be good for this little car
