Re: Boogie Update with Pics
im sure before long ill get more....once the brakes and suspension is straight they are going to drop the front subframe and completely clean out the engine bay...clean up and repaint the engine(all mini engines came painted to cut down on corrosion...plus they are going to do a wire tuck on the harness
