From what i read it had major subframe damage? Does look like  it already had started to be stripped down. Cant wait to see it finished? Is that one your on about on youtube a blue one? Cause iv seen that and you are rite about it being a mental build. :grin:

I spy a customer with very deep pockets.  Okay, having a complete donor car makes like massively easier but you're easily looking at a £20k project before you even start buying the expensive bits for the engine.

Correct, I believe you would need a SVA test but would be a major ballache.

IVA, numpty.

IVA is much tougher and I think you'd gain a Q-plate for your troubles in the UK, too.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Would be very gutting to find out you couln't put it on the road if that was your intention after all that hard graft!

sounds like it could just be a show-mobile earning scene points. I would imagine the excercise of endowing it with 500bhp is for bragging rights only!
