im guessing that 40k spend was overall over the years, as that lot sure as fuck isnt 40k of mods.

none of it is exactly top notch work

No one is slating RS Turbo's... they're are good ones and the rest are shit.

The car is a typical example of someone modifying their car and trying to recoup the costs or sell the car for enough to settle the debt run up making it.

As for the plate.......... cant see it being more than £1500 really??

Why does a motor need more than 100bhp when any motor will drive nicely at 100bhp

I bet 99% of the questions he has been asked about it have been about the 2dr Mk2 parked beside it !!!!!

Am sure its worth more than this horrible looking thing !!!!

40k probs includes the original bill for the car too, but i would imagine i fair bill for the ice install with labour if he did not do it himself

Be fair though the work done does look like it's been done well and the owner has obviously cared for it. Not worth £10k in a million years and his nest bet would be to remove the ICE and sell it seperately.

Not to everyones taste but the lads obviously put a fair amount of work in. Not sure about the price but I guess thats what it is worth to him.
