Today I was at a place called Trac Prep to get some work done on the car, one of the guys who owns this car was there and let me have a look round it, genuinly one of the nicest, best finished cars I've ever seen. Coming to a magazine near you soon
*some of his progress pics are not working atm

I thought that myself, a friend of mine had an st170 on bodies in his old xr2 which put out 210 bhp and probably cost less to build.
