When i purchased it, it had nothing but the shell, no running gear. the only thing that came with it was a world cup cross memember and a quick rack. i believe it ran a C20LET befor as the engine mounts were for this type of engine. i was told it was built by Denis Moody from Gartrac, dont know if this is right or not. but the fabrication is excellent, very very solid shell.

Create an account with photobucket, upload you pics using the photobucket download system (can be done in bulk or one at a time) then click on your album, move you cursor over a pic it will reviel photo info in boxes below, copy and paste the img file info, think its the second box down, then paste onto your passionford message/thread section, paste the pics above each other like this

img/photo1/img.
img/photo2/img.

not like this

img/photo1/img. img/photo2/img.
