SWAP! Fireblade BEC for cheap kit car
In the poor economic climate, I decided that selling my car wouldn't do me any favours, and I;d never make my money back...
soooooo
I'm after a swap.
I want an SVA'd kit car, not fussy what it is (except no duttons or robins hoods please) - can be a xflow, pinto or whatever - as long as its in
working order and MOT'd.
are you considering a BEC project this winter, save yourself the hassel and do a swap with me! 
Bacially I have a 893cc fireblade locost, all plumbed and wired up ready to go, it needs a few parts to finish and a bit of tinkering but the BIG
stuff has been done.
It is a live axle lo-cost ,
AVO adjustable shocks
quick rack
15" alloys (two tyres good, two need replacing pre SVA)
spare black 13" capri extra wide special wheels with slicks fitted,
4 point LUKE harnesses - quick release, but SVA compliant
all orange body work included,
starts and runs and REV's!! Boy does it rev!
Blue silicon hoses throughout,
baffeled sump,
barrnett clutch springs,
AB performance prop adaptor,
full savage switch set - inc start button (very cool in blue) all wired in, inc lights, incicators, fog light etc.
fibreglass drivers seat on runners
Main parts needed are:
Prop - £200ish depending on if yout trt or not
passenger seat - I was going to use a lo-back seat for aerodynamics
Boot cover - DIY? or proper soft cover for £30 (i will pass on companies details and template)
Header tank pressure cap - £5
New dash - I made a bit of a hash of fitting the fireblade clocks! - could be used, but it isn't pretty.
I'd like to stress I have done about 3% of all the work on this car, I got it as a part built, and gave it to Steve (worx) to do the pro engine
install at significant (but reasonable considering what a great job he did!) cost.
I have nothing to hide with this car, the only reason I'm selling is I want a car I can use rather than look at, I can't really afford to
pay a company to finish it off for me, and I've had a realisation that I'm too lazy to do it myself! 
I have made a list of the jobs to finish, though all timings are with me doing the work, so are about double what anyone with any experience will do
them in!
A few pics to follow.
Anyone interested please get in touch.
Willing to travel, but only on a sure deal. I estimate it to be worth about £2.5-3k real world, but once finished which won't be hard worth more
like £5k maybe £6k on a good day as a newly SVA'd car. I'm not talking the car up, because I want the swap to be a happy one, with both
parties feeling they got a good deal.
Can throw a few extra hundred into the pot to clinch a deal, but only for a real good quality swap - please don't offend with a poor swap and
want money.
THIS IS HOW IT STARTED IN MY CARE:
THIS IS HALF WAY THROUGH WHAT WORX DID
