Im sure most will know the car. Ill try and not bore you with the whole story. I was up at Harveys dropping off an engine and the car was sitting in the corner of his workshop. At the time Harvey and Jim I believe were going to repair it and rebuild its engine and sell the car as a whole. I must of declared an interest at the time as a number of months later Harvey gave me a call offering the car.
I bought the car and was well aware of it needing work but didnt know how much it needed! I never looked over the car properly the first time I just knew of the car and its resto previously in 2013. Either the car hadnt been looked after after its engine failure or the resto previously wasnt to a great standard, as going over the car after bringing it back it certainly was looking tired. The passenger door was bubbling, rear tailgate bubbling, front wings bubbling and every panel looking a different shade of white. Some of the bodges under the bonnet were quite incredible and outrageous.
So the car needs a thorough going over and sort out. The car still has some of its good bits previously the watercooled AP brakes, large Pro intercooler and rad setup and the remote reservoir Ohlins. The wiring needs starting again as its an absolute mess. The engine going in it is a freshly built 602bhp Harvey engine on a EFR 7670 turbo and 6 Speed sequential gearbox. I have a brand new quiafe front diff and 7.5inch quiafe rear diff in a harvey rear beam which will hopefully keep it all together and reliable.
