The car was initially bought for the running gear for a Ford Cortina, but as you do on further inspection I have decided that the car is far too good to destroy........so it's now classed as my latest project.
Currently not running - needs fuel pump & air flow meter to get it running - can't wait... wink.gif
The car has been stood/neglected since 1995, the spec of the car is as follows:
ENGINE - RV8 Vitesse (stronger block) - 215 BHP @ flywheel - hoping for 200 @ the wheels
- rebuilt (not yet run in) engine with a +.20 re-bore making it 3625cc (or there abouts)
