My mate is having his car featured in the mag next month. He did everything himself.....no going to a body shop to have things smoothed out e.t.c He is one tallented lad. His car may not be to everyone's taste, but you can appreciate the effort that went into the car.

Anyway, 1st Aug, REVS mag goes on sale....just have a peek inside if you donit want to get it. Here is the car for you to look for:

The car looks amazing, and to think it was build by a single man, thanks to his talent and passion, is great!

I had to move the topic though... I know I moved lot of them lately, but we have to many sections.. let's try to put in "general" only things we can't really put somewehere else

BTW, now that it's in "car gallery", we absolutely need someone to scan the mag when it will come out

I will let him know about this site. He is from up North, and called Jonathan........same as me lol. Behind that mean outside sits an equally mean 1.3 8v lol. Oh and he is selling it soon, so keep an eye out

We have tried to convince him to keep it and put a 1.7 puma engine in it, but he wants a new project.

man i love those headlights they look mean. are they original or what cause i have never seen any others like em

jon_s · 07-25-2003, 02:38 PM

The lights themselves are original, he has taken the orange bits out of the indicators. The shape is made by his 'bad boy' bonnet, which gives the front end that look.

jon_s.has he not considered the rs turbo engine in there

if he gets rid,what does he want to start on next

jon_s · 07-26-2003, 06:01 AM

Yeah, we are trying our best! He turns 21 soon, so he wants a faster car lol, but he seems reluctant to go with a transplant.

He has been offered a S2 RST for 850 squid

He is selling his (in the back of REVS) for around the 6-7k mark. Although the body work is VERY good, the lack of a decent engine will put a lot of people off the price.

The real real shame is, he wants a plane car that does not attract attention. He does not live in the nicest of areas (near York) and his car has been broken into several times. :cry:

So for the next one he should work on the engine, leaving the body stock or almost stock

a sleeper gets less attention
