Final thoughts:I must say that this is my best built mod to date and i am chuffed to bits how it has turned out, it was way more costly compared to the others as i have made due to so many changes to my previous mods making it more robust and many many more things....the list is endless.....there is no fast machinery making this just loads of hard work and grafting/sweat to make this, down to the last mm of filing to make the perfect mod.....Oh and plenty of nerve wrecking times......as with all mod making one mistake and it ruins the whole thing.
