I served me time as a motor vehicle technician in an auto repair centre been here for 8 year , im 24 now been messing about with scoobs for about 3-4 years now , started building engines just by stripping an old scrap bottom end , after I stripped a few i finally got the ***** to build a 2.0 sti8 bottom end up and ran it at 416bhp with no probs .

We don't do bodywork neither so all self learnt

Always wanted a type r or p1 so saved for ages nd finally got a shell reasonably cheap

Left it stored in the garage until I got nearly most me parts then last month I thought I'd best get me finger out lol
