This is EPIC!!! I am still laughing at the rebuild..and not in the bad way.. but as in evidence of what humans are capable with some determination. This is so cool. I wanna move to Africa, i'm sick of USA (i been thinking of it for a while).

I am also completely amazed that looking on those pics it appears all lines are straight on the rebuild, and the hood does not protrude higher than the fenders, everything seems perfectly lined up. INSANE!

thats so cool. Everywhere else in the world people fix things when they are broken. Out here people would just toss it out if it wasn't working.
