Cool 8) I've spent slightly more than that on my 'rado recently, and I can't imagine how I'd be if my partner (if I had one at the moment!) told me to get rid of it! :shock:

 

What have you done to it for the money? Sounds like it could be quite and interesting car... 8)

If the car is affecting the household financially and the girlfriend/wife has an equal share/say in the house....then yeah it'd have to go......but if like in my situation where you live on your own pay ALL the bills etc, then she can get knotted :lol:

bought it last february off of a freinds uncle who had it stood up for three years, it sounded a bit noisey bottom end so i got it home stripped it down and it kinnda escallated from there (you know how it is) , didn't think i would like this much but its great,

bits inc: (all new) engine, supercharger, eibach suspension, sebring exhaust, brakes all round, 17" wheels, isotta steering wheel, interior (2nd hand but immaculate), alternator, water pump, pas pump, all pipes, i'm sure your bored now but you get the drift, should be at inters with it so hopefully all meet up ????? :roll:

Sounds about right... Mine started as a simple project and then a sheared bolt resulted in a bit of overkill :wink: :lol:

 

There's gonna be quite a few of us at Inters this year, there is talk of having a stand down there, so keep an eye out on here for details a bit closer to the time, and I'm sure we'll all meet up and have a laugh! 8)

[bigg60 0]

Should be a grin :lol:

[biggrim 0]

Same exhaust as mine matey. Do you not find the noise a bit tiring? Getting rid of mine asap for a Milltek.

[bigg60 0]

i can imagine on a long journey it could get too much but i dont use the car very often so its a pleasent change from a diesel pick-up :D
