it's a kit car. My dad built it in the late 80s/early 90s...and i've got a big album of all the pics...from the rusty white mk4 Cortina he tooked parts from, to the pics he took of it when he took it to Norway! He used it for a few years, then couldn't afford the insurance, so he laid it up. it hasn't moved since. it is powered by a Fiat twin cam, and we've bought a new one to put it - only the new one needs rebuilding!  anyway, here is our's :  and an original brosure...  funny coz i've also got all the original documents, instructions etc, all typed out on a type writer...and no website/emails...all phone numbers! lol. I've got all the build pics...so will scan some in some time. |

A new twink...does that mean the old one is going spare?
If so does it run?

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated
Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

the new one was bought to replace the other one, that hasn't ran since 92/93...only the new one needs work...so i dunno what we are doing...i will try and find out for you.

I'm not usually a fan of kits, but thats really cool! I was thinking that too! Whoever designed it has got the proportions just right & the styling is quite pleasing. The hood looks rather neat too. More info please!!  |
