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!
difference between Hurdys and this are the reason he describes as bad points


 the sills are a little crushed in the usual place from speedbumps and poor jacking. the front bumper where the badge recess has been smoothed out isnt great, the front splitter is in quite a few pieces and is cable tied back together :lol:

other than that i just want to make everyone aware that the turrets have been raised in this car, which has passed MOT inspection with no problem and are double seamed and fully undersealed.

I have got an central locking problem at the moment that i am working to fix, but the price reflects that. the car shuts fine on the key and is fully immobilised when locked... just the central locking doesnt work so you have to lock the passenger door by hand.

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

Wouuld yous buy it for that asking price

same goes for most modified cars unfortunately, doesn't stop us all throwing cash at ours though does it...

fair play to the lad, it doesn't look great but I bet he doesn't care when you have that much power under the bonnet  :driver:
