well i swapped it 4 my rusty saff cosworth so i gess it ows me more that it should. ha ha lol coolest car on here!! im not sure about that but thank u
i know jon who used to own the car, its a goodun. i should have another 1 of these in my workshop within a month or so, for a cage and maybe rx7 turbo lump being installed.
u would be hard pushed to find one lol, apparently there is only summin like 10 left on the uk roads. the one comin in for cage etc was an absolute box of rust, most panels needed replacing.
Its my old car................ It does go sideways but its not going to win any drift track events......itwas not designed for drifting. We can build one of these cars for about 4k.....If anyone wants one. Although theres always a wait until we can find a chassis. They do turn up now and again
