Currently it has a 120 engine slapped in it, however Ritchy, Ben and I are whipping it out on Saturday in preparation for VVC action in the new year. In the meantime, I'll be sourcing bigger brakes, harnesses and buckets, and finishing off its track goodness with some awesome camber.

Anyway, pictures:

Thanks mate. Been stopped just the once, funnily enough on my street! TBH I don't really drive it enough to be pulled over in it, only drive it to shows, really. Even if I do get pulled over, it's 100% road legal so they can't really do anything.

have to point out to everyone how much of a hit this is at shows, shows people usually just wonder past the cars, including tj's own turbo, and then gather round it, when max power came around they looked absolutely gobsmacked whern they saw it, and even more surprised when we pointed out stews other car

few trophys won now anyways, its a laugh for everyone to enjoy including all the kids who drew on it lol

Nearest I've seen down here, was a 3 series BMW, looked like he had got it back for a bare metal respray and then just left it.

Looked quite good, rusty red colour.
