I rolled out my '15 T project so I could sweep. It has been on stands for several months while I worked on other stuff. It was good to see it in daylight again. I had stolen all the brakes and front suspension to use a core parts for rebuilding my other cars brakes. I need to get back on the...

Thanks Mike :thumbup: I'll hunt around on OWWM. If I can't find it I'll hit you up.
