Little info about the build, the inside as you can see is fully striped out with a 10 point weld in cage(omp), I had weld in sub frames put in as low as possible, the loom has been striped so only has what is really breed only did this just to make the loom look neat and tidy. I then had the car on it's side and grinded it back and treated a few tiny rust issues it was then treated to a coat of stone chip will upload pictures once I find the camera. Was then sent of for a full respray inside and out and under the bonnet really pleased with the finish. Engine is fully forged, has a big valve head, knife edge crank, and a very nice rotrex supercharger. Will update more info along with pictures, if you want to know any more I will happy answer, hope you like it.
