This shell was built by the lad who painted it ,,Jimmy ,, and his mate who has started his own company ,,full on fabrications ,,
Its there own work ,inc the paint work
Z cars build cars almost the same , there based about half hour from me . great cars but jimmy and his mate wanted to build there own .
Credit to them they have built it to a very very high std , and believe me when i say jimmy wont be scared to scratch it ,,lol,, he is quite a top name in grassing and you dont get that by being at the back .

Class 7 grasser is my guess, they are properley quick.
Years ago at the national their was a mk3 fiesta with a 1000cc bike engine, it fuckin flew.
Even the Class 10 Specials had them (bearing in mind this was 1998) Twin Engined passing the V8's with ease
