Default Coming soon in 2011 - Shonkey Ver 3.0
After 15 years out in the wilderness driving shitty old Saff taxis, I've finally grown some balls and got my hands on a rolling, part trimmed Escos shell.

A few peeps know/had an idea what I was up to , the car was built by Kelv before sadly being broke before being finally completed.

Initial plans are for WRC bumper and rear spoiler, some tweaks/repaint on the inside and a nice Reyland engine powering the rear wheels only.


However it not being worked on un till I finish the Ka


So after leaving Plymouth at 0330 saturday morning I got her home at 0130 this morning




Now all tucked up in the garage




And it obviously had to have Monte wheels




Engine
