I know its not to everyones taste but I love the colour.. not worried at all as one thing I know is that car will never be going up for sale!! Was thinking candy red at first but just decided to go for somthing really different

No way love the scoobs all day.. from what ive found scooby nice car that you could run and use every day and is good on the track and the evo is a ***** out all the time track car.. dosent like doing 30-40mph at all... alot more thirsty than the scoob aswell.

Been a few weeks since been able to post anything on here.. basically I lost my job beginning of march so had no money to spend on car so left it for a few weeks.. good news is just started my new job soon as cash starts coming in again can get car finished off.. this is what ive got left to do
. Full fuel system, lines, fittings, pump, swirl pot etc
. Get engine dropped in with all components put on
. Cooling system sorted and then hopefully get car run in and on road
