... so decided to buy this:

It's a joint venture between me and my mate Rob (robmatthews on here), cheap drift car/project that wont see the road, certainly not for the time being, will just be trailored to drift days :)
For sale thread with pics and spec here:

Nice one mate. Why not make it roadworthy tho? Easier to drive it to events than trailor it everywhere:nod:

Yea Al i'd keep it as roadworthy as poss so in the event you do want to use it on the road, take it somewhere etc its much easier, think about after fitting coilovers etc and you want to get it alligned, could drive it there rather than trailing it etc.
Good work clouder :thumbs:
Show us the rust then :D
Whats going to be done that wont make it road legal?

its just the cost chaps. It may only get used once every few months, and wont cost a penny sat in the garage, mot tax and insurance is never cheap, but is an option at some point maybe :) hopefully only needs a few bits for an mot.

And it's here :D well done Rob for going to get it :notworthy total legend! 600 miles, 12 hours on the road :thumbs:
Having a welded diff is weird, but kinda cool :) all seems spot on, just need to find ourselves a local(ish) drift day now.....? :)

Thats a nice looking 13 you got there :D It got there ok then.
Very nice to meet Rob, shame you couldn't get out of bed :D:D.
Heres a link to some of its previous outings. Pics by my bro at DWYB. The first outing ended up with a piston in the sump, hence the new engine! http://www.pbase.com/trackside/drifting
This is exactly why I need access to a trailer....
Well done buddy :D Bit like me, I'll just HAVE to get a toy to play with at some point again.. I can't stand all this auto non-turbo malarky :D
Looks a nice car.
