Interesting... lots of work gone into it so far - it will be hilariously terrifying when its finished.

I reckon the seller has over proced the starting bid though (inspite of all the work done so far, unfisihed projects are never wirth what you;ve put into them IMO) - and he could do with dropping the huge font...

...still, I wouldn\'t mind a go if I had a few kk lying around :Giggle

That would be amusing, would look daft though with those massive rear arches.

That engine must sit low, wonder how hes going to fit a steering rack around that ?
Would be exciting to say the least with that engine and such a short wheel base :D
