I think you should Rick, maybe change a few things on it this time but still keep it quite stealth looking, change the wheels back to the 15"s you had on it before (The one's in your old feature - look like 5 spoke compomotives) or maybe some black RL7's - Mmmmm nice!!!

Go on, you know you want to or you wouldn't of thought about it!!

ERRR,

WENT TO THE YARD TO TAKE A GLIMPSE OF IT YESTERDAY (WEDNESDAY) And apparently it was bought two weeks ago by a lad to build a grass track car.... it was never stacked in the yard, and only got rained in for a week!

i'm trying to trace it now, i have the guys name and the reg of his van/trailer......

the way he seemed to suddenly 'dispose' of the car first time round suggested he'de never want to have another one again. i spoke with rick and he said wanted a cossie. if rick buys/builds it back its just rubbing it in, all the while, what a mistake it was to strip it. if he does have it back it might not be long before he gets itchy feet again. but i still say yes.

Dave gsi---- I don't understand that comment. It's identical except 17's, splitter, bonnet vent!!!

I had it re-sprayed the same color every year since 1999

I think what he means is: It was nicer with the 17's, splitter, and without the bonnet vent.

I agree! But dont get me wrong, i loved it both ways.. but prefer'd it in that pic above!

exactly, the three things that changed have in my opinion ruined what was a mint car

Looked better with scoop, looked better on the Compomotive 15"s, looked better without the front splitter (It was too deep), looked better with the old exhausts (Not sure about the rear bumper spiltter though...)
