from the offset the car has been built to look as good as it will go.

1979 rs2000 /4 previous owners /fully hpi clear.

quick spec anyone genuinely interested please give me a ring.

all the car needs to finish is...........front pipe making / prop shortening / new light kit for front / quarter bumpers /brakes plumbing in /new fuel pump and fuel lines/ loom fitting..

this car stands me near 18k but selling as i genuinely dont have the time or enthusiasm anymore going to take a break from the scene for a while.

looking for £13,500 ovno may consider selling as a fully trimmed shell minus engine/box/loom/ecu but would rather sell complete

this car will be worth strong money completed as it is not a cobbled together quick build 100s of hours and £kks have gone into the build tel tony 07899077111 cheers
