Luckily its a quiet street, they all know im into my kits. I do the building and spraywork away from the house now, but have to share the build area with some noisy neighbours of my own!



Stallions (the one eating the hay), dancin donkeys (the red ones) and raging bulls. Quite a task keeping them all apart!

The Murci is based on a Mk2 MR2 T-bar. Jap import turbo. New intercooler, exhaust, and a few tweaks bring it upto around 290-300hp which is respectable enough for most playtimes. Obvioulsy if you are into track work etc, this car is not for you!!

The whole top of the car is chopped off, the engine is removed, the boot is removed, the rear suspension turrets are remade 10" back from their normal location and everything is moved 10" backwards on laser cut plates and mountings which bolt to original hardpoints. The steel frame is then welded and bolted in with roll protection. That gives a structure on which the panels can be mounted. The panels are externally exact 100%. The bumpers sills and all bolt on parts will fit directly on the genuine (and are sold as replacement parts for genuines too)
Audi V8 engines drop right in so you can have the grunt to match.

Last one sold for £39,500. Not bad considering the donor was less than £2000.

Insurance is peanuts too, less than £400 fully comp on 5k limited miles.

That was one thing i wanted to ask about RS reps. Who is best for insurance? The ones i go with wont class the RS as a replica, but a 'normal' car with aftermarket bumpersetc. I dont want to have to pay loads on the insurance.
