Surge 1 Report post Posted October 26, 2006 Hi Cameron, Apparantly before me it spent most of it's time at the army base and seldomly driven, only for his friend to crash it (sideways in the rain) when he was picking up some mags. The damage to the car was only in the back (the immediate back, smashed the rear lights and bent the boot. Was the most immaculate car I've taken bits off! I'm selling it as I'm repowering for the third time and need the funds to do so. It's only just been test driven in my car recently as all my body work is being cut into pieces to build some arches.

Yeah I can do that, Payment would need to be fairly shortly after the auction - Even payment for the engine, then pay later for shipping. Cheers, James.
