trust me, it will crush like a tin can anyways! and insured value is worth less than two cold hot dogs that fell and rolled in the dirt. i like the no bumper or euro bumper look, neither of these or the stockers will save the car even in a 15mph crash.

Got it running today. Run's out pretty well. Anyone know of someone good at adjusting injection pumps in the hamilton, missoula area? It needs to be tuned pretty bad.
