Shame I did not take pictures when I collected it or during the build. it was in a poor state. The roof had collapsed due to a fuel can being left on it. No floors. No sills. No glass. No engine rusted rear section.
It did have the original steel trumpets and modded front hubs for the rear which had a tube brazed onto them for the hub position unfortunately these bits went in the bin with house moves.
This was sold in about 1996.






Here the sills and floor had bee done.
Metal work done.

Racing.

I belive it is still being raced. But on 10s. Which I was not happy on.
As can been seen towards the end of the video

Some nice cars in that vid! The Gtm is awesome, what was the engine spec?

[nicklouse]

Exactly the same as in my rebuild thread but with carb inlet from the GT thread.
