£11.5k for a 96 car regardless of spec is not that cheap sold my old type r for £14.5k, wonder how long the PPG box would last with a couple of launches...

I see the trend of the responses, but how much is a 2.3 built engine these days? So as a package, i.e. "the car" I would say its a bargain.

Yes I agree it doesn't look nice, but for the spec......... ????

Purchase car, transplant all into a RA shell......yeeehhaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!

Even transplanting all the stuff into a standard looking pre facelift green turbo 2000 wagon with 16" wheels would look better then the shell its in now!!!

A good 2.3 built engine with worked avcs heads could be 10k.

So a bargain and just bin the shell!

Would probably be worth buying just to break it at that price.

That's what i'd do, good deal for the parts rape the shell and weigh it in got to be a ton of filler in it.

I think people are being harsh, as with the other thread on this the other day. Normally cars with kits like this have had nothing internally done to it. This is obviously a monster, what it looks like is pretty irrelevant. I personally don't like the look of Newages, but that's my personal taste. £11k on this or a newage for me is a no-brainer.
