Would put good money on that being a rs1700T kit.

 

Think people still produce this kit so you may be able to get the matching front and rear bumpers if your lucky

 

 

just looked up rs1700T kit on google and its not the same, dont spose you have any more ideas do you?

 

thanks

Back again for day 5,

 

basically the car still looks the same as last week as i spent all day filling, rubbing down and filling again making the rear quarters look like they are ment to be on this car, we did make one important descision this week and that was that the front panel was too far gone to save, so out with the grinder ready for a new one to be fitted.......

And now for something a little different,the start of my home made bumper...... think i have sourced something i can use for the front but the back is going to be a little more 'hand crafted', bear with me, i think this might just work.....

Ok people im getting this dusty old thread active again, as you can see i started this project some time ago and then it all went quiet. i started out with some bad health which stopped progress for a few months, then the garage it was stored at moved premises so the car had to come home, then i was made redundant then then then, i could keep going but you get the idea.

 

this car has been sitting in my garden for quite some time now doing nothing and as i dont earn enough now or for the forseeableto continue with it i need to shift it.

 

its not something i have wanted to do ever, as i wanted to finish it, even when we were close to losing the house while i was out of work i refused to lose her, but its now with a tear in my eye, i realise i have to let her go.

 

she was running nice up to the point i took her in for a new roof (which i never got) which i when i decided to go all mental with the body kit etc.

 

if nothing else she is full of parts if you wanted to strip her down, or she could be completed, i have the seats indoors so the are not mouldy.

 

im open to all offers, if shes not taken she will be stripped to bits then sold or scrapped, surely someone will help me stop this from happening?

 

call me 07801741159 to discuss, im in colchester essex and you would need to collect.

 

if a moderator can move thsi thread somewhere more appropriate or whatever that would be smashing :smile:

someone must want this even if its just for the parts to save it being collected by the local scrap man?

 

the engine, loom and everything were fine.

 

i just need it gone

 

someone, anyone with a vision or in need of lots of parts?

ok well its not an easy thing to photo at the moment, you can see from the earlier pics how it was going, the rear bumper was all filled and rubbed down and i was working on the custom lights.

 

you can see them on the attached image sort of, but i cant really get the car out for any more photos without a lot of effort.
