Look's very nice mate. 
Wouldn't it be better to have the other 2 cars the other way round so the drivers door is in the niddle not against the wall.

take a nice atandard rs500 road car price,
and then bid it in the nuts and you will be close,
the car must owe me about the price of a nice three door! lol
the wheels alone must be worth Ł1500 a set, and i got four with the car!
i now have most parts to convert a standard three door to full group A wheels and hubs, including mag front hubs ect.

this car must of had my name on it,
as i kept my 527 bhp engine out of my old rs500 road car,
so i have ended up with a spare monster engine/turbo ect
the engine that came with it, is fresh and not run since rebuild of new bottom end ect,
but as it is of unknown quantity to me, i am going to bolt my complete old unit straight in,
the build is known to me as is the full spec and it allways performed in my old car well,
the new one must be much lighter so should go even better,
fingers crossed!
