Re: Pistols MR2 stories... Race car and Project car..

Morning everyone, Time for an update I think. Part way through fitting up moving the battery to the front. I wasn't happy with it, as the battery was to big for me to fit it anywhere happily and was not my end goal. So I put it back as was originally. Then to be honest. the lockdown blues kicked in....
