while the dimples arent something i care about as much as everyone else on here, i like the placement of the p/s reservoir! if you have time and a tig, it would be cool to see a custom reservoir (you could make it larger if it fit the space in that corner)
[/quote]

Changed the shape of that gusset so now the p/s reservoir will go right in there and yes custom one will be cool.

My lil helper

Here is some shit I've done today: pre fitted my pop up's , they will always stay up I think it looks sick.... on a hatch :P and got my rear brace with a spot to jack up the car...... since the car will be super low and jack wont slide under my bumper ( my old car was like that I always had a hard time lifting it during tire changing and the kit was not as low as this one )
