Have you ever actually driven one....mine now its lowered etc handles better than my bay and my father in laws high top T3.

bigger diesel .. mit intercooler teknic

although, every day i get some idea or other.. and every day it gets closer to the show season ......

the parts are gathering dust nicely though

 

It was then fitted with a freshly built 3.5 rover v8 (and a few nice tuning bits)

which then did this to 4th gear (and broke the diff in the process)

However its now got a rebuilt box by dave at shiplake motors and has since been down the strip at bugjam (19.3 quarter - track temp 35 degrees - I am sure it could have got into the 18s on a cooler day) and it has been to spa and back happily

Jobs for this season are to fit some decent suspension (at last) and fit the porsche front brakes so i can go porsche stud pattern on the front and lose the adaptors (and tuck the front wheels a bit better)

I like to think its gradually evolving for the better - an it now uses LESS fuel with the V8 than it did with the old (rebuilt) 2.0 Cu motor - plus it will cruise happily at 80 and if necessary (on the autobahn obviously) run off the end of the speedo

they all look as cool as fook.

are there many for sale?

i want 1
