( if she can ever get it hooked up and keep it straight going ' w.f.o.' down the track. ) i will post more pics as we go along, wish us luck ! this is supposed to be her daily driver ( nudge nudge, wink wink..) when we are done. boy did i get lucky with this girl, shes the BOMB. and super beautifull to boot, to bad shes so camera shy. i might hafta sneak a few photos when shes not paying attention or something.
