Cheaper to do the Rat :lol: :lol:
But anyway, Hello all & i love the forum.. a great and informative read.
Cheers

I'd say that is a very good rat candidate. If you rat it you'll be on the road quicker, plus you can always restore it down the track and have the enjoyment of a rat look now and a restored look later without having to change cars.
