SupraAyf Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Buy it now Craig and let it stand on your drive m8 for the neighbours to admire - that will bring a touch of class to the area. Seriously now, I think it has a lot pf potential so get it mate!! Post some pics when you've done the 2JZ-GTE engine conversion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Craig, It's probably the best place for it until you get your spanners out of the garage m8. I know pics can be really deceptive but it looks as if it has a good solid body for starters and I for one haven't seen anything like it on the road recently.

scooby_doo_do Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 Wellt he response i received from the chap selling was this : HI The car has a V5-It was once custom car magazines feautured car in the 80's. The battery is now flat-I use a booster pack to start it, with a booster pack it is possible to drive, as I drove it two miles from my house to storage and certainly turned some heads. The car will need brakes attention, possibley shockers+interior for mot. The car has some buubling on the body-it needs stripping and treating in these areas-full respray. Underneath is not that bad.
