crazy_eyes Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Hi, well here i and after about a year of thinking about it i've finally got things moving here's what ive broughtIt needs an engine and gearbox but i reckon i've got one sorted from a car that im hoping to buy (it all comes down to finances). I got the shell (pictured) at what i think was a resonable price althought the wheels make me feel physically sick. It's still taxed and tested as it stands which makes me wonder why the engine came out of it. I'm geussing it was proberly one hell of an engine and proberly worth more than the shell. Anyway i reckon im gonna need a fair bit of help and advice along the way and i'll keep pictures coming and progress updates,cheersSteve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crazy_eyes Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 I swear steve only just put this shell up for sale after the engine going in kid v'd sportif or something along them lines?I don't know why the engine was taken out, im presuming it was tuned up to a decent standard, judging by the bumper cut out there must have been a fmic fitted?

Steve GT Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Well hello my friendIt is indeed my old shell. It got pulled apart as i spent a lot of money modifying it so sold all my bits off it. the engine was a 23k low mileage engine in mint condition so i decided to sell that seperate to KidV to help him out with his FTE conversion. Lot of money time and care went into her so so glad youve took her off my hands i was determined not to break her so very glad youve decided to carry on with hergood luck with the build mate il keep a close eye on what you do with her and hope to see her running again soon steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
