there are some good bits i have to admit but a bit steep imo and wrong turbo to run 324hp, should have gone for a vf35 and that rust bubble is alot of work to do it right

Running safe power though! Only one rust bubble ain't too bad? Mine has one very slight bubble, almost unavoidable at 15 years old now.

Nice car for sure,with some good parts on there, but its quite steep considering it has no forged internals.

That would only be an "absolute bargain" if it had forged internals or an STi short/long block aswell as a 6 speed IMO.

Add £1k to fix the rust to be done properly. But way over priced and I wonder if your mates with him. He lives close, just down the A134 from Bury St Edmunds.

He is a mate of mine that's correct, but my opinion would stay the same as it is proper nice.

Hardly, once rust shows on the outside of a classic the inside is ****ed.

Serious money to put it right.

A few bolt on mods dont make it worth more money, infact it probably detracts from the value
