I like that, how much did you pick it up for? Also what's that red triangle in the last pic? Picked it up for $5g and did about $3g worth of repairs to get it running reliably. The red triangle is a thing in the boot, i assume its to put behind the car for when you break down, so motorists can see you. In the pic i was jump starting the car and put it up for shits. Cheers for the comments guys. |

My recommendation : do not spend money on coilovers mods etc until you have sorted the engine and electrics.. I did work for a guy who had one of these from brand new.. he blew the engine in it ( fuck knows how ) a replacement engine said and done cost over 30 grand (like 5 years ago). He still owns it and said he still loves it regardless of that minor hiccup.. this is a guy who owns a company turning over millions of dollars every month. So yea.. you're a p plater, prob not earning as much as him, so just be aware that you need a fair wad of cash if major things go wrong with these. If it were me I'd have a few grand always laying around ready to get you back on the road. |

definatly get all problems sorted, but after coilovers with a nice set of 10' wide bbs's or breytons would set it off! look up the sports or v8 version, they do have very nice optional extras in the way of body parts available that do make these look very aggresive! |

Yeah I have found most of the parts I want on BeastPower.com. Will hopefully get the build going at the start of next year, after my holiday |
