Even comes with a 'scene' door!  I can understand why the handling would be 'interesting'! |

Can't beat negative castor on a car that was already known for interesting handling characteristics, and has a massive steering lock. Could be quite cool though.

Surely that's a half built Gasser waiting to be finished ?? Radius the rear arches a little more, drop the rear a couple inches and slip a straight beam under the front to support the inevitable V8 for ultimate win!! *goes off to check bank balance. comes back dissapointed  * |

That's a bit of a monster thing, lots of useful bits on it or hopefully one awesome project to get running but not bring up to date.

More to the point he keeps emphasising about no V5 . Wonder why it isn't there and the number plate is blanked out still so cannot be checked if on the system. If not then an inspection would be required to return it to the road.

i like gassers but i'd leave that as is. proper street freak style.
seems its lost its id then...
you don't roll that style and expect "handling" - that was never the point. Some builds could be a bit lethal though...
i do like that

There's an era I'm glad is over and lost. Surprising it was built like that as recently as the 90's though.

I fight you Jonny, I fight you now.
I'm with you on build date surprise though. Stuff was being built low from the early 80s and high riders and street freaks were pretty much passe by the late 80s. It was all prostreet everything then.

He needed to be told? ;D It's hilariously bodgetastic. I love the exhausts:  Tacky shiny backboxes and exhaust tips are nothing new... |

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

Just noticed the angle of the prop & what look like track rod ends on the tie bars. Wouldn't want to drive it very far.

He says it's got a v6... weirdest v6 I've ever seen, looks more like an inline 6 to me If it was mine, I'd adjust the angle on the jag IRS, Shove a jag straight 6 into it, and make the engine/gearbox LEVEL! :lol: And obviously, slap some rose-joints in place of the TREs  Front castor could be adjusted with a few shims, couple of hours tops Nothing else needed.. I'd roll it |
