Looks good, not so good with the black wheels IMO.

He should shift it easy enough at that price.

Ha Ha, was gonna mention the 3 litre rocker cover but I thought I'd appear an anorak! Couldnt work out if its single vanos or not.

It certainly is a mighty 3.0ltr :D

Look how far back in the engine bay it is :eek: enough room for an electric fan, hell, I couldn't squeeze a sausage in between my engine and radiator. He's either used a radiator inset in the front panel or has beaten the hell out of the bulkhead and used weird mounts. Hard to tell in the photo though.

Buster is right, it has been for sale a few times, the guy that had it built was selling it originally around 15 months ago iirc.

To be fair it looks like a good car.

It has the rad in the front mask Dameon.Thats why theres loads of room.
Im going to need to take the rad out on mine so that i can torque the new vanos bolts !!

It would be a tough choice but id have to lose the Wilwood brakes in order to have those borbets on, the black alloys look terrible on the car.

few bits i changed but otherwise i quite like that, espec the colour

anyone know why it keeps doing the rounds and no-one has kept it very long?

apparently some of the work on it is a bit 'alternative' but ive not seen it in person

there has gotta be something up tho for it to keep passing from person to person.. I think its had about 4 owners this year
