taken a step further in the global economy, you'll find defenders that would soon be in the pick and pull if they stayed in England, end up as rebuilds over here. quality car and a worthy addition to the "still on the road" statistic? **** no. scarce, in demand, and worth a rebuild here, when an NAS sells for 70g? yea.
