G.Mac Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 When Grant first described the car to me I was almost sick with a picture of pure boggingness in my mind ( yellow, graphics and bloomin 3 spoke alloys) but when we pulled up at the sellers address I was amazed to find that I actually quite liked the car and that the overall package works realy quite well, looks far better in the flesh than the photos but that low front shot does make it look like a right fat pie I just need to start puting some cash away now so when one of the remaining four come up for sale I can jump in there with a cheeky wee bid As said before, I look forward to seeing her in action once Andy has given her a full bill of health and a wee tweek or two. I wouldnt like to think how much this cost Trial to build, even in today's terms where alot of the mods can be had cheeper than in 1997 ps Grant yer still a tart

RS Grant Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 That is comically in your face mate... when I saw a couple of those pictures I genuinely laughed at how wide it is!! Brilliant car choice gaffer, will be quite lively once Mr F sprinkles some magic over it and you're able to open it right up. Cheers, Grant

seafar99 Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Grant, The photo showing the inside of the boot (spare wheel well), looks as if it has an extra boot floor brace welded in?...or am i misreading the photo? craig.
