If you decided to break it I know a guy who wants that SC.

I can totally understand you not though, and if I hadn't just bought this one I'd of snapped yours up.

Good luck with the sale.

Well i want/need a 2.8 back end with lsd (larger diff with wider track)

I would have to graft the 2.8 rear subframe onto the 1.9 bodyshell, a lot of agro.

also i want to use the 2.8 gearbox, prop etc.

it makes sense to sell this and buy a semi chicken shed 2.8 and start from that.

if the car doesnt sell though, i will break the engine and supercharger setup and sell and go the 'difficult ' route

if there is interest for the s/c then i will sell it off the car alont with some of the other shiney bits. it only takes about 4 hours to remove the s/c

1. You get excited when it's cold outside.
2. You fill up every three days.
3. The size of your grin is directly proportional to the amount of boost you’re on.
