I'm looking to pick something up that has had the work done already, this keeps popping up.

Is the current/previous owner from the club? anybody know about the build?

Would be wanting to start from scratch as far as interior/exterior goes. I'm only really concerned about how it runs.
Literally looking for a hassle-free turbo fto build. 300kw doesn't sound too hassle free, and the claim sounds a little optimistic to begin with.

More questions than answers atm - can somebody shed some light on this thing.

Thanks in advance.

Seems like a bargain for the price it's been selling at, but I can't help to think there is something seriously wrong with it the amount of times it gets listed. In the past 2 years I've seen it listed on 4 different occasions, which leads me to believe there is still a lot of work to be done.

I've seen the car in person and it seemed fine at the time, but no idea what has happened to it since.

I wouldn't buy it. Pretty sure it was done by a dodgy dude in his backyard.

I don't think so,apparently it was done by the guy and his mechanic friend. They just used a standard 6A13, made the plenum smaller so it fitted and that was it.

I've seen the car in person about 3 years ago and it was running well but a lot can happen in 3 years.

The price and amount of times it's been listed speaks volumes in my opinion.
