Wouldn't say he's done too bad for 2k, despite the rear shunt, given how good it is underneath and how sweet that engine sounds. 20v turbo coupes are starting to be quite desirable so I'd say spending on it shouldn't be throwing money away.

oh, dont know if you noticed, as you open the driverside door, notice the missing paintwork on the edge where it closes which was a little rusty when it left me, thats from the first day i got the car and opened the door against a chalky brick wall accidentally at the petrol station. thats something not obvious that only i will know about. and one of those side pininifarina badges looks abit...weird? right? well i tried pulling it off thinking it was a flush badge, but soon realised it had two little bits that push into the body to hold it on, so had to use normal average glue to try and hold it back on.

if there's nasty scratches on the boot that look like they had some magic marker or touch up paint on in them to match the blue again - thats from my pal pratting about mocking his old gc8s vortex generator wing up at the top of the rear screen and letting it slide down the window and down over the boot lid, consequently leaving some fairly hefty deep scratches which i covered with a big DEADLY brand sticker over which has since been removed. also had an apexi turbo timer that was simply tapped into on the ignition wires, if you pull the cowling off and see the wires for the ignition - the wires sheething may be cut in couple of places unless hes changed that aswell. also a manual rad fan switch was mounted in that coin holder bit next to the gear stick. but i didnt notice it here..?
