    Love it! The Carlton GSi face suits it, they just look so right sideways. Colons 5-0 styled one and The Chizfab drift taxi are probably two of my favourite drift cars, this looks close to joining them.

    well its been a while now and i think its time for an update .

    the senny has been stood for a while now as last time i used it the gearbox gave up and the lsd diff desided to stop being a lsd and became a open diff over night .
    so after some time and many hours calling old club contacts and many hours on ebay i now have a spare gearbox and a open but now welded diff to put in the beast in the next week .

    iv since fitted my bucket seat and 3'' harnesses and my 20mm spacers for the front wheels as my rims where rubbing in the inner arch but with spacers fitted there is no rubbing and a little extra lock .

    im also putting the beast on a diet as its a 2ton plus car standard .

    pics to follow very soon
