Some customers must also be on drugs, or perhaps selling them!

 I like tubular steel. If its designed right it can also be lightweight. 
 Sure its not exotic but it can hold up to fatigue as long as has sufficient corrosion protection.
 The TRD front member brace is one of the best looking braces I have seen.

I offered a seller £1200 for one local to me last Saturday but he sold it for £1400, it was very nice but £1400 just seemed a lot......especially these days with whats happening and whats going to happen, food and heating will have to take priority.

And to think I bought the whole car ( including the HT ) for £301.00 on top of that £1,400 HT!
