- polished head
- full gasket kit

Can't wait to see how it turns out this spring. I think a 5-6 spoke wheel would look really nice.Create your own VB Gallery here.

I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.
