Pure racer, that engine just looks special and that slam panel is something else, quality!
-
Is that suspension setup for tarmac/track stuff? Low poundage rear springs is an unusual choice but makes sense in terms of weight distribution, is the back end not a bit sticky for a FWD though?

:eek: tweeet twoooooooo:d :thumb:

Wicked car, one of the best project cars ive seen in a long time! Just goes to show you don't need a massive engine to make good power.

tis the business that.
i remember the pic of the car on that t.v rolling road feature - first ide ever seen a slam panel like that..
engine does sit noticably lower in the bay. rare stuff.

it can run low poundage rear springs as its running a proper anti-roll bar
