mickappy Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 been thinking about this since i got the car, this car is mint and really shouldnt of come my way. but it has, this is a perfect base for my 400r turbo. its never seen a mig and its been wax oiled from new id guess. only thing ive found is a 2p size hole under the water bottle which is an easy fix. the under floor is the best ive seen. the engine tho sounds rough. it could do with a rebuild(which ive no interest in doing) robbies tried his best to talk me out of this been my 400r. but if im spending 6-7k making my 400 i want the best shell avilable. hope you all forgive me.
