He got it from 4agedub up in Jhb a few years ago. I dont think he has figured out how to attach the bonnet yet. :mrgreen:

Doors are also GF. We spent ages discussing options on how to hang them. Not sure if Vader has come up with a solid plan yet.

So far it is a rebuilt version of the singleport 1915 he had in the darkside. I'll be porting a set of twin ports for him when I have a chance and we will be upping the power slightly at that stage. Nothing radical, but plenty fun to be had...

thats for sure.... I am not sure if he has changed his mind but the plan is also to put in a full roll cage before actually using the car.
