so
who thinks he sells drugs?
who thinks he's got filthy rich parents that pay for everything?
Who thinks he actually works/worked his ass off to pay for this stuff?

Bloody awsome though.

Even though what he does is on-shore; it'd still be a $70-80K aud position, plus o/t....

top money for his age, i'm still amazed at his practical ability, unless the camera is masking alot of the shit up (can be done easily) or he has a very very experianced hand he is unreal.

I find the wing interesting considering how much fiberglass hes already done, he went and bought a wing.
Thought he might have DIY his own to fit in more smoothly

i'd probbaly do the same to be honest.. not that i'd be able to make all those custom fibreglass panels either, but the wing wouldnt be in fg, it'd be aluminium or carbon fibre.

my thoughts though are buy what you can, only fab up what you have to.

so there hasnt been any update really on the vw thread in ages.. but the guy dropped in to say he bought a house.. check it out!

http://www.finn.no/finn/viewimage?finnkode=16361906&reference=6/163/619/06_-24910186.jpg&sid=xz5ecdF-kVZ648648

this guy is awesome! lol.

exchange rate makes the house roughly AU$740k.. i think its a bit of a mistake though him posting the link to his house up on the web.. it'd be easy to find cause there is a map roughly showing where it is on the real estate website. hope his car doesnt get nicked.
