I think you'd be better off starting from scratch than fixing up that mess

It's got a paint job, I'll give it that. But if that's all it has going for I'd rather do the paint job myself and know it has been done properly. Not saying that one hasn't been, but you never know what shortcuts have been taken
If anyone bought as a starting point of a good project they'd end up changing the gearbox, pulling out the motor and painting the bay, changing the rims, probably doing the suspension again, etc etc etc, so you might as well start with a stock 3L
Just my 2c anyway

Yeah the 2L gearbox would HAVE to go.
Yeah it looks like the window washer/coolant overflow bottle has been cut in half and the coolant side replaced.. and then the hose coming from it has been cut?
It needs door mouldings, the colour wouldn't be my pick if I was going for one that isn't original, the trim around the lights looks ****, and it has a cannon!
One thing it does have going for it though, is it looks to be a genuine RB30ET, what do you guys think?
Yeah Alex, seeing as the bay hasn't been done, it's likely there were other shortcuts too.
My 2c, now we have 4.
No one on here knows the owner do they? Should I delete my post?
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Those exhausts rule.....a friend of mine had a manual one with a we leaver you pull in and out under the steering wheel....when you get pulled up by cops for loud exhaust you pull it quickly then they do a roadside test which they do down here and you pass and away you go.....cool idea if you like loud exhausts...similar to what the mitsi GTO's come out with.

It's more of a hotrod thing rather than a "boy racer" mod. Good idea though

Probably! Quite a few high end sports cars have them these days. Usually activated when you hit the sport button. Aston Martin Vantage V8, Audi RS4 and Porsche Cayenne GTS are just a few that feature this sort of thing as standard. Bloody good idea I reckon. Means you can easily pass drive by/WOF noise tests, then at the flick of a switch you can have the noise you love!
