[turbo boy]

What is tha t blue car and what motor you puttin in?

[Pugheaven]

Can I just say fella... that is EPIC... just read through everything, absolutely stunning. Well done... that engine bay is superb. Funnily enough contacted Pettit the other day for the last super charger... not sue whether to go for it or not...

[exiled-viking]

thanks for the big up:cool with reference to the pettit supercharger is for me  I bought it and would do it again:Thumbsup! so if you can afford it then buy it and don\'t listen to all the negative stuff, if you did we all would have cars the same and that would be boring:)

with ref to my other project its going to have the viper S10 engine supercharged and there transmission with modern ECU and electrics and the puritans can go to hell ha ha. but i have just had a major offer from the USA and its 40 times what i paid for it:Giggle:Giggle:Giggle

[Pugheaven]

You must have a cracking wife or gf mate, as my missus would let me get away with it lol.

sorry chaps some MOD commitments have come up for a new contract and i am now going to be pulling out of any shows or meets this year  :shock: , you can never turn down easy money :!:  and i will be out of the country for most events, or just returning , plus my corvette project has been sold to the son of the original owner he\'s come from the states (twice but looked at this project 3 times and made his mind up sunday) and it will be shipped at the end of the month, he made and offer to good to refuse and i don\'t now have the time to go forward with it. I will try to make jap fest and still doing le~ mans  :Thumbsup!




just sorting shipping out and some export paper work he,s taking everything but the viper kit so i will be sorting that out at some date for another project although i have a firm interested in buying this now  :Talking1

it was about 20% complete but the new chassis and strengthening mods  fit were going to be over £11,000.oo carbon fibre and aluminium . so it could of turn into a runner way £££££ build even though i had put £40,000.00 to one side
this could of hit twice this so it was a no brainer  

happy with is visa payment this morning though :Viking

I booked time for rotor stock so hope to make this as well.

[exiled-viking]

sorry with the photo bucket upgrade as they so call it the buggers have yet lost my photos i had with there system so i will not be posting photos up any more with them i will have to find a different way of posting stuff:flamed
