Oh dear :eek:

Plastic bodykit, Ice and a cage. What a mix that is :roll:

Engine conversion if done correctly is a plus point.

4k and no bids, thats a big surprise 8O

Horrible, what a waste, wouldn't be so bad if this engine was in a standard unmolested car, but seriously what actually is that dress its wearing, guessing it has to be a aftermarket kit?

4k, wtf, I'd buy it for 600, fit wiring loom, engine, ecu, gearbox, then break the car, but 4000?! 8O

Just out of curiosity, what engines that 4 litre from and is that a complicated swap? Also wouldn't that make the car very front heavy and make the handling wank?

it is the very same company, started out as "Auto Design Technics" in a very seedy area of Bradford back in the early 90's,
you could buy a Gash fibreglass bodykit some sick rimzz or any backstreet drug you needed, after quite a few deals (on bodykits) they progressed on to making Rangerovers look Council,

I am tempted to email him asking if he will sell the wheels separately but no doubt the mong will want silly money for them
