    Anyone know this car?

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PS13-SALE-...item2318cf46c0

    £2250 for a PS13?! Whats wrong with it? Anyone know the car or the owner? Ebay page says he's in Exeter.

    Can't afford it yet and don't think it'll hang around long at that price but I have a few idea's to get the money...

    Pics from his PB link (obviously!!):





    I want... Maybe px the 14a for it plus some cash my way

    SR20DE, will need a fair amount of bodywork if its not been driven since 2008, only one picture, non runner with a very dubious sounding turbo conversion ....... if you fancied the bodywork and had a DET to throw in it might be worth a punt I spose. I do recognise the name though, maybe ask if anyone knows Lee Boardman on here or DW?

    Photo 7 shows the rust trying to escape from under the filler on the rear quarter

    Would need pictures of underneath before it became a worthy option imo. If it's just the arch thats rusty cutting out the crap and getting over fenders would cure that and possibly the dodgy paint on the rear 1/4 as well.

    Sounds like it may need a fair amount of work with the engine also

    We'll see. I have the space to work on it and not in any hurry. Maybe I'll stick to my current plan then and re-build the 14a and get a PS13 later when I have the money to import a decent one.

    Thanks for the help guys

    Claiming 330bhp from a de with an incomplete T25 conversion does not give me much faith in the seller.

    Doesn't need one. There's a few little bits that need doing. But I have been collecting parts for 2 years for a chassis and suspension refresh - subframes, diff, arms, coilovers, polybushes etc etc.

    I also want to sort out some underseal, extra welding for strength and removing any rust I find. Its done close onto 200k now in its 14 years of life and I fully intend it to last another 10. Only 3 cars would make me sell up - a good PS13, S15 or R32 GTR.
