as you can see the donor mx-3 had a bp+t with a custom intake that used
8 injectors (plus 4 in the intake) that was very very nasty work...

What were used for the sideskirts? I like that strut bar. I haven't seen one like that.

thank you jesse! the side skirts were made from polyester but they were nicely made!
the strut bar is olso handmade and of uknown origins, but worked good with the custom made
shoks from bilstein with APEX`I spring.
