Looking through ebay this morning I have come across this car. Anyone seen or heard of it before?

Looks like an amazing base for a big power project.

I am sure he is a member on here as I sold someone some carbon mirrors from that way. Just coincidence maybe.

That looks great. And has had a huge amount of money spent on it!

Looks alright for a project, £2500 is a bit ambitious though. Id need to see more pics of the back end, no rear floor? Lol

Brushed over that but will google it as you seem to know who/what that is :ashamed:

I'd like to know more about the front strut towers, they look interesting.

Price wise I also feel is a bit ambitious but has got to be worth it all day long with the fab work what has been done. If it was all sprayed up I could see it being snapped up sharpish

The bit that confuse's me abit is he says the inlet manifold is custom by adapting the carb inlet to a flat piece of alloy :confused:
Does that mean this engine is still using a carb? I hope not as I can't see the point of that

That car has a fair bit of work in it. Great base for a serious track car. If I were still in UK I'd definitely have a closer look.

It's back!!!

And now at £1,500!

It's so hard not to hit the buy it now button at that price! :eek: I was temped before and was talked out of it, but now its a grand cheaper than before. :D Need to find somewhere to keep a 3rd one I'm thinking. :laugh:

If I had any spare cash I would get that just to do something a bit different - baby due in 3 weeks, 3 vx220's in the garage and 2 year old hulk taking over the house I fear not :cry:

It's begging for 4wd and a round 400bhp!!!!!!!
