i cant tell you that :ninja: i just love the car coss it is so much like my 1st one. i will try and get a trailer sorted and get up to pick it up sum time soon

Nice one Ross, it is a clean shell and a good colour.

In its present state I'd say its perfect for a GT or G40 conversion

Does it run then??? :paranoid:

Was that the supercharged badge off the dashboard??????????????

  • Author

no its not the one off the dash. and no its not running the chip in the ecu is fucked and not priming the fule pumps but i cood have told you that if you had stoped by insted of just driving past.. :roll:

I had the kids and the wife in the car heading home. I think that Jo would have killed me if I stopped! ;) Not the fuel pump relay? it always was twitchy!

  • Author

no its not that

ok! ;) Will be nice to see it moving under its own power again. all be it a bit slower than when i owned it (but definately a bit more reliable!)

  • Author
