broken build (tons of pictures)

[mk2bmxlover]

So I got a black GTI about a year ago and I have been working on it ever since. I broke my foot on September 28 in Iraq, doing shows for the troops. I got surgery a few days ago and decided that I should do a build thread, since I wont be traveling so much. So here it is. P.S. sorry for the sh*ty cell phone pics my camera broke
