I joke haha.
Looks like a fair bit of a project, how much did that set you back?

Engine alright?

Hahaha! It has no engine... £1827. and it's a project for life :)
(it was factory an R/T 440.... obviously no engine now :/ Tis ok i want a hemi anyway ^_^ lol)

I've always wanted one. Now i have this to restore when my civic is done.
The plan is drag.... Pro street this mother ! Tubbed arches, cage and a handsome big block ;)

Just to clarify... I will not be getting rid of my civic... i have too much love for it ^_^
But The charger is tied with it (completely different use)


AND.... yes i did buy it widowmaker... won it on eBay :D :D :D

Hope that was typo :shock:



Just be sure to keep it safe and secure away from the metal collection guys, trust me they'll take bits if not all of it :!:

Good luck :wink:

Nope! Bargin price. Someone is selling one in the same condition but with an engine... for $18500 in the states.

But don't worry it'll be stored in a safe place ;) It is indeed a big project and i'm fixed on one thing.... It's not going back standard.
Was contemplating a jag V12 twin turbo.... I'd love a supercharged 440 or hemi but $$$$$$$$ :lol:

flatliner... LOL! Rat look charger ;) Sorted :top:

Progress won't be happening for a while as the civic comes first.

Chuffed to bits though :D
