M8,
had loads of these when i was a bit younger
standard ones up to one with a 1740 with HR 360 cam running on twin 45s. 950 box with escort LSD, Bilsteins all round, Full alloy cage and 7"x13" RFX revoloutions. Think they are top motors and can see me with another one again. Hope you get it on the road soon.
