Default my series one track car build

got the series one bout 5 years ago now, no engine or interior.... paint looked well but new it was hiding some rust so thought best bet was to strip it n go from there. money was tight at first so initial plans was throw an average 170bhp lump in and bucket seats n go track it. then as we all no things evolve and with overtime readily available for a period i was able to spend sum money on it. unfortunatly now overtime is not available and now having 2 kids (and mor cars) i hav to be a little sensible with money now. but although its slowed things down, i wont be quitting with any of them.

il let pics do most talkin. il prob miss loads of the build but ul get the important ones ;0)






stripped it n gave it to someone to get the welding done
