J5KE F 0 Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I have always loved the mk2 box built shape, and having the opportunity to buy a rolling shell that had been completely stripped rebuilt and resprayed i couldn't refuse! So the syncro is now gone, and K68 OOR is nearing completion. - thanks to Andy & Miles @ Storm - cos i dont have the time to do anything other than work!Pete, Claire, Sparks lets play!hopefully fingers crossed, she will be ready in 3 weeks for Castle coombe!I hope the images display up ok..The car was originally a red 16vwhich didnt stay that way for long, i believe Chris put a vr 12v lump in relatively quickly!which he then got bored and went for a 24v 4mo lump..stripped it completely and got it resprayed in Lotus exige grey.its changed a bit since then, and am currently waiting for more recent images..But thats all i'm saying for now Link to post Share on other sites
