The plan was to get it resprayed all red or all blue but i didnt have the funds at the time so i drove it how it was for a while and loved the extra power.

It was costing far too much to keep after a couple of weeks so that ended up being stripped and scrapped as well.

engine is good though give it oil, oil filter, air filter,plugs and a good clean and i think it should be good for another 100k at least as long as i change the oil regulaly
