    Hi to everyone! Track car proj.Pics added

    First post!

    Hello people,

    Abit about myself,
    My name is Mark and im 25yrs currently living in Manchester but lived most of my life in Plymouth.
    Ive had 4 R5s in my time when i was 18
    In March i bought myself a Phase1 reg plate C****** as a non runner and the body work was OTT!! big time .(Im sure the previous own was a member here as ive got the RTOC keyring on the car keys.

    Currently turning it into a track car only! so its not my dayly run around.

    Thanks guys

    I went for the matt black looks as its easy to spray, with the R5 being just a track car it will be esay to tart back up after i spin it a few times on track, or should i say off track

    thanks for the comments guys
