i have moved to America and can't see me ever getting this finnished, its in complete kit car next issue for sale, but i thought i would give you guys first dibbs at it, i've spent at least £20k in parts alone, it runs, it almost drives, needs peddle box fitting to alow it to be driven, and brakes plumbed if you want to stop!!!!, basicly it needs someone with the space, and time, and i guess the money, i would say a couple of grand in parts and a few weekends could just about see it finnish if the right person took it on, looking for around £12k and that doesn't even cover what the engine, box and chassis cost me, email me for full details
nooooo! I hope this car doesn't disappear!! I was really looking forward to seeing this car in the flesh, hopefully it will go to a good home!
That is a real shame. Might be worth u2uing bilbo if you havnt already. He seemed quite interested in your last post.
such a shame.
shame your gone.
i guess with what you have spent you could get a old viper 8.4 from the US.....
good luck selling

Why not get someone to finish it for you? Surely it will be worth a lot more IVA'd than as a part complete project! If there is as little to do
as you think then it would not cost all that much to do, less than the parts and IVA I should think. I might even be interested myself if I can just
move one or two other jobs along a bit in the next couple of weeks!

my mate that is looking after it was going to but i don't trust him to finnish it right with me not there, and i don't know anyone else that could, and in kent, a parking space is a premium so as its taking up space, it has to go really, but yes getting it finnished was the first idea, but now gone to plan B.
no offence intended, but I reckon you would be better to break it, I can't see a queue forming at that price, but the parts might well go for more.
i couldn't break it up, i would keep it, but yes, the parts would probably be worth 12k+ if sold, although a lot of the money went in the chassis, and who would want a chassis like that, ok its basiclly a viento chassis, but a lot has been changed to take the parts that i would be selling off, so someone would have to re buy them, or the chassis would be scap metal!!!
a real shame mate,
i remember seeing this run at a show last year (i think it was stoneleigh) you could hear from the car park amazing!
hope it goes to a good home buddy... i want to see it drag race
why not ship it over???
