It's public and visitors to Photobucket can see it but it doesn't let me link the pics here for you, which would have been nice. I don't use Photobucket so can't really tell you what's wrong with it, sorry chief.  |

the rather unusual body style is owed to a 130mph meeting with the crash barrier, after the autobox let go and leaked fluid all over the rear tyres!! to say it was a mess afterwards is an understatement, hence the extensions and moulded in rear spoiler etc!!
rear disc conversion, uprated locker diff, the carbon dash is a one off, race suspension with what appears to be no movement in it ,runs twin single pipes all the way through, trying to convince him a crossover system would be better, but he now wants sidepipes!! lol should have taken a pic from below as it only has 3.5inches clearance from the ground now!! ;D
