Its Jacks car and he wanted something a little older and unique.

Everything has been built in our workshop with help of a local fabricator.



It has a full stainless exhaust. Boost gauge etc etc.

We have lowered it on H&R springs and shocks and are looking into some E55 brakes for it. It is not MOT'ed just yet. We are waiting for some wheels to come then the brake size can be worked out.

Mad as a box of frogs, but I like it, a real sleeper.
