I agree, If he blew it over in one colour he could have sold it 10 times over. I'd be nice if Ian bought it back though. Was nice terrorising the neighbours with it

I like that, sure it'd be plenty quick with rwd and 300 horse. You could always wrap it to get rid of the paint if it's not your thing?

Was it not quite a decent spec, with a 200 block when it was built??

Bit of a shame seeing it like that, however, it wouldn't take much to tidy it up and make it a little more presentable under the bonnet.


Cheers,
Grant

200 block, ported head, GT30, tko600 box, big wing sump, bara diff etc. The lad who bought the shell off Ian could have at least painted up the bits on it before he rebuilt it
Its a shame seeing any car rebuilt to a lesser spec after its been broken. I personally didnt have much dough in the car, but I had god knows how many hours in it.
A weekends graft would see it looking top notch again

I love this. saw it sold for 10k with a bid last week. I think the paint makes it. Its a stripped and caged lairy one off car at the end of the day.

Shit load of car for the money, it was an epic car and still looks in very good nick. Simple bolt on parts to make it an epic track car again. Hope Ian gets his finger out and buys it back, adding reliable parts to it that doesn't cause him so much heartache this time

He probably had a made put the bid on to entice others. But that's worth 10k all day long.

Martin did a lot of work on the car Mark, wheels, brakes, engine etc...think gearbox aswell but may be wrong on that. Thats why it went in the Reyland colours.

Whats Ian upto now Davey?

Ian spent a bomb with Martoon and pretty much every part on the car was sourced through Reyland. I'm pretty sure Ian paid for the firenza

He broke the focos, bought 2 shotguns and a range rover and went shooting wildlife
Hes having a crisis at the moment though, hes seriously contemplating buying this back. The rolling shell sold for not much less than the complete car is up for now..

Deffo agree with above, such a cheap car. All it needs is a decent ream beam, a proper spec'd engine and a few cosmetic bits on the inside and it'll be perfect as a clean track car. He never should have sold it, told him countless times.
