| This car has a good and a bad side. good side reasonable k's motor, service recipts to date. the bad side the car was only taken care of inside and mechanically. I dont think the exterior had been cleaned in 5 years. Thats why im getting a full respray. |

| most of the internals in the F2T's are a lot stronger than those in the F2, so converting means changing almost everything in order for the motor to be able to cope with the extra power provided by the hair dryer |
