Hmmmm . . .

"i could be really proud of from an engineering point of view" - fairy nuff . . . .



"Airbags removed" - which would make it uninsurable

"has both sunroof AND climate control - one of the reasons i bought the car in the 1st place" - I used to have a 1999 Vauxhall Astra like that - may I could have sold him my old hack!

"the sills are a little crushed in the usual place from speedbumps and poor jacking" - that sounds something to be proud of . . .  :fighting:

"front splitter is in quite a few pieces and is cable tied back together" - what engineering manual details that method?  :fighting2:

"I have got an central locking problem" - surely one of the easiest things to fix! :indifferent:

"up and down the country racing literally anything i can goade into trying" - sounds like a mature, sensible driver - NOT. :stupid:



Do you think if I offer him £25 in redundant Woolworths vouchers, he'll consider it? :evilgrin:

Seen worse.. This is one of Regals's creations, I remember reading the build thread a while back.
As Sean has said, to put... "i have done 2.5k miles in the car and it hasnt missed a beat, ive been to germany and back and up and down the country racing literally anything i can goade into trying... and i havent been beaten yet"  is not ideal advert material..  :stupid:
Needs to change the back lights too IMO..

Why must he be having a laugh? Least he lists the bad points unlike most people that sell their cars! Its Regal's son's car and has been built properly, yeah its not brilliant having damaged sills etc but that was from before when it was so low.  He's not built it with the idea in mind to please everyone with how it looks, its been built purely for one reason - power!

Suppose even that can't please most people on this forum lol

engineering master piece, marketing nightmare.

gotta say though I like it. Could do with a different bonnet but from a neutral viewpoint how is this car any different from the time and money Hurdy spent on his MK5 monster? Gotta love the haters!
