Wow, always wondered if you'd finish this one off.
Be sad to see it go, hope you get a deserving buyer.

I'd love the interior back!!!

Have you any other spares?

Ive got tons of parts Shaun, double of most bits
 
The interior is all new now, see the pics?
 
Ive thrown a ton of cash at this, but with my family now, i cant see it progressing much over the next 10 years, if found a car i want(not a escort sadly), and one day i hope to buy someone's already built car
 
Id like to see this go to a good home, it deserves a good life!

Matt,
 
Have you got a list of spares or is it a package deal?
 
Thanks, Shaun

I dont have a complete list of the top of my head, i hope to put everything out on the driveway(i have a very large driveway) and take pics and make a list in the next few weeks, its going to take quite some work, and then ill load all the parts into the car minus the interior ready for sale
 
Id rather sell it as a complete package, but could seperate one of the engines and the Dana/Spicer M86 locker diff
