Car has only had beginning stages to conversion (sections of engine bay cut away), along with the removal of all brake, suspension set up and engine,


It's not really a conversion yet. Just a car and a Toyota motor.

I feel sorry for the bloke selling this car, the guys who he took it to to get the conversion done have no idea about cars! They are the dodgiest brothers in wollongong.

As for the car, the body is in decent condition from what i remember from a few years ago, and what he has written in the description is a fair and honest description of the car.

Yea, poor thing - who cut the inner guards out?

Unfortunately they are harder to build than it's made out to look like on here :lol:

Ryan,

Do you know the guy?
I have offered him my services anyway. Hate it when people get taken advantage of by unscrupulous idiots!

Can you pass this message on?

Cheers,
Trcky

Simon,

I'm shocked!!

You know that we here at QBR would always see each project to its end!
(We may take longer than most, but we still get there) :wink:

Cheers,
Tricky
