Default Went to 'Wings & Wheels' show saw this fantastic 3-door

Helped out on the GSF trade stand, and whilst looking around the 'show' we came across this superb RS500, the pictures don't do it justice




Why oh why do people do this


And the best bit, this powerhouse under the bonnet


As said the pics really don't do it justice, you can't see the rust, filler, dents, cable ties and string holding bits on etc etc class replica

how they had the balls to put it on show I don't know (well yes looking at some of the other 'show cars' it just about fit in) - I did politely tell his 'crew' that it need some 'restoration' (translated to 'jeez what a pile of shite') they seem to think Ł500 was a bargin?!
