yes it's getting that way i think, 2dr's are worth too much when a 4dr does the same job for a lot less cash, having said that a tidy 4 door fetch's good money now, 5-6 years ago you couldnt give the damm things away, lol,

i also have a 2door shell which i built a few years ago to road rally, but thaught it was too good to abuse down the lanes so i built the 4door,!!!!!!!

Loving your work mate.

Yeah the 1000 Lanes seemed a real car killer, was marshelling at 3 points on it, Walters, then just outside Breacon, then Walters again in the morning. It was the cars going flat out in Walters that didn't make it to the end!

What engine are you running instead of the turbo lump then?

I been using a Mk4 Xr3i until my Sunbeam is ready and it seems more than capable one i sorted the brakes, tyres and suspension.

the stretch over the mountain from manmoel to tredegar used to be a rough one.
