Strongly considered putting an rb30et back in it, and throwing the engine into a r33, but yeah that would be a lot of hassle.

mm, I think it's just when you're completed something, and spent years doing it you start to get a bit 'over it', i mean the amount of stuff I've fixed and replaced on this car has basically built a brand new vl almost, and I know it will be reliable, etc for years and years to come, but after all the work I've done to it, it's kind of getting to the stage of any more I do will feel like im just throwing money out the window! Good news for potential buyers though lol.

Man, awesome car. Went on a cruise with Gav and matt unfortunatley joining us.
As soon as I saw the car go past where he was picking me up from I was drooling. Sexy car.
Drives awesome, sounds awesome, DoSeZ awesome. Great all round car.
You shouldnt be selling it man.
P.s, just joking matt, you know I want to stroke you baby.

hey - I've decided to sell up now, just started a business, and I need a bit more a businessy (boring) car to get around in.
Make me an reasonable offer, might consider another car + cash, but no older/heavily modified cars!
