Gotta put Wiggy at the top, cos he finished it, drove it, broke it, fixed it, flogged it an' f**ked off to France by the time I got round to doing a site update !!! He got BACK from Frogland and was still complaining his car wasn't on the site !!!! He fully built it himself with a Mopar 360 to a real good standard !!!!!
