Didn't realize it was just round the corner. WTF is that seat all about :S I'm sure that's a new addition since matt owned it

 

[theduck]

Norm fitted the seat iirc

 

[DIDITNO]

seat is very, very lightweight. what this car was all about. but theres a bit of foam to make it comfy.

 

[172Ben]

when i went to see it, it was fucked

 

[theduck]

WTF? Since when were you admin?

WTF? Since when were you admin?

Did you miss the thread on it last month

 

[Dave..]

when i went to see it, it was fucked

How fucked are we talking? Last time I saw it with n0rm, it needed the gearbox sorting?

Take it various people have now tried to fix it, but made it worse?

 

[Bluebeard]

Just screams trouble. Its had about 136 owners iirc?

 

[theduck]

The guy selling it is atlest the second, if not the third since norm!

 

[172Ben]

needs custom gearbox, customer shafts to be considered safe, engine was a mess and sounded abit rough.

With alot of money itll be an animal!

 

[Cro]

Yeah definately needs someone who knows their shizz to own it, I'd love to but it'd be a case of getting someone else to help me. Something I havn't built and know inside out or custom boxes and shafts are beyond me.

Lol maybe i'm just re-assuring myself I shouldn't buy it.

Who's this Paul jordan guy they speak of?

 

[theduck]

not a clue, have posted a very brief more accurate history on the thread.
