Cheers Glenn, not much needed to do on the underside, few little spots on the body, missing some interior fixings.
Taking it to the RSOC kent meet at brands Wednesday night, looking forward to finding out what sort of set up its got under the bonnet, definately not standard!

Still love the rs2000's Steve, just too good a deal to pass up with the saph, he took the ranger in px 
Sadly it means I might be putting your old one up for sale soon, cant drive them all and its too noce a car for storage.
Yeah kos it is cracked, happened on the test drive! Exhaust came apart at mid section lol, so the owmer drove it back, but caught it on the ground as he parked it. Got some more money knocked off lol, needs repairing or areplacement if anyone knows of one

Found out after my meeting with the RSOC kent lads that its running on grey injectors and possibly a t4 turbo. Not sure what that means but been told its st up for big power. Its over fuelling so ive got her booked in for a remap and a rollimg road session at the weekend.
Found these tucked away behind a loose dash vent today, bonus lol

He might have said t34 lol, shit memory. Find out for certain this week anyway.
Well spotted on the cracked bumper, I thought the lad did it on the test drive, knocked him down 150 because of it haha.
No idea what its boosting either, only found those guages this morning, they appear to be wired in though. Wont be driving it again until I take it to the garage for the map etc, as its over fuelling and struggles to start as a result of it

Nice 
- looks like adjustable cam pulleys on there to so with a bit of luck you have a nice inlet cam to. With the t34 and greys should be a good 350 road car. Clean underneath, someone has really looked after it and nice bonus with the gauges 
Let us know how it goes after setup.
