Anyone know the story behind this turbo project?

video on Youtoob:



They're surprisingly good humoured in the knocking video when the car seems ready to fall apart!

Seems like quite a beautifully insane project, just wondering if it's still alive...

Thought it was mine for split second..

Yes mate, its in the for sale section now.. Got a few people interested and coming to view over next couple of days..

may i add, the Oil pump failed on that knocking video Cost me near on 3k, the whole original engine was SCRAP! The engine that is in it now isnt the same one as per my project thread.

Mental car! and built well By me

Thought it was a big coincidence having 2 the same colour
Thanks Andy will be sad to see it go. .

Nice one Andy, the build is incredible.. :hail:

How much are you looking at for the car Chi? It'll be well out of my price range I'm sure, just curious to know. I'm guessing 10k+ was spent putting it together.. not including the oil pump issue?

Why not look at the for sale advert I linked?

Yep sorry I did; I just saw the price in the subject heading.. I'd just read the ad and hadn't looked at the subject line. Cheaper than I thought it'd be.. Whoever gets it has oodles of car for their £££

Haha, yeah it's a bloody good price!

 

[Chi]

Damn priced to sell tbh, Andy said if he did it again he'd charge a lot more than I'm selling for and that's without a full paint job. I'll definitely miss it but I'll drag the Z4 out and around Europe.. Should help me get over it

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

Just showed the advert to my mate and he wants me to get it.

Such a epic car

Nice ITB Trophy going for a song

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

Haha, would take the turbo over the trophy anytime!

Shame that I can't afford either
