type r pics
Thanks for posting the link up, plenty of pics on piston heads.
I do have photo's of the build which I can pm anyone interested.
Engine built by Interpro, gearbox recon by API, body by Complete Auto Restoration.
Faults, I have picked up some stone chips on bonnet and roof (roof is worst and i'm happy to have this painted or wrapped - maybe carbon - to buyers choice (or an allowance for having it done) faults - scoobyclinic have got to tweak the map for cold starts, but that's about it.
cheers

IMO give it a good wash, and take some more flattering pictures. Its difficult to see it properly and get an appreciation of how good/bad the kit it installed. The other wide arch flew off the shelf, yours has a forged lump and in white which is always disirable. So should sell.
I was/am interested myself, but I would want to put a 6 speed in it as I couldn't live with the short ratio's and worry of box going pop. Which makes it cost prehibative for me.

thanks for feedback Rob. I have chance of picking up a decent 6 speed dccd box etc, what do you reckon a (washed & shined!) 2.5 forged with 6 speed would make?
Although the box does make it unbeatable on the backroads - had a lambo wanted to play the other day, nice car, crap driver only saw him in the mirror for around 2 miles!!!!

All depends on quality of engine build and bodywork. But a white wide, classic, with a forged 2.5, running a 6 speed is a great and rare receipe and I for one would give serious consideration to it, and willing to pay fair money for such a beast.

Sorry about pics, they were cropped to fit the max file size.
I've never posted pics on the forum, what's the best way to do it?
I just tried and it doesn't let me browse my pc for them, which is the way I've always uploaded pics elsewhere before.
As regards bolsters, carpets etc, they are all A1 and I'll post some better pics when I learn how!
The only real fault with the car was that there were some inevitable stone chips on the roof, which unattended had some surface rust on them, I've just had these sanded, that chemical rust stuff on them, primed and it's in the shop being vinyl wrapped gloss black, so will post pics of that as well. Also got a bid in on a 6 speed dccd, god I think I may have to keep her as well as the new m coupe at this rate, just need to hide her from the missus
thanks for all the advice, If i get the hang of the pics posting I'll post some up of the supercharged m coupe project as well.
cheers
