    I have to say. First beautiful build. Second… thank you for calling it by its correct name and not calling it a rabbit.

    • @xMikeyPIZZAx
      @xMikeyPIZZAx Місяць тому

      He's never called it a rabbit before, so what is that meant for? Not to mention the US rabbit pickup came before the caddy in Europe, so calling a US pickup a caddy would be incorrect...

You cant beat a build, but doing it with your dad is priceless... you could see how proud of you he is. Cant wait to see the progress, one of the nicest builds i have seen

    I had a little batch of milled Vr6 headgasket keyrings made by GruvenParts in the USA sent over for other VR6 owners. I have some left and can send you one.
    I'll PM you and can send to whatever address.
