The key difference being that it isn't mid engined, probably still has four seats. What a horror. And how much!! :shock:

Its pretty much the same conversion as the other one! Its rear engined and has some decent bits to it.....obviously the fact that its not finished is very suspicious...if you'd gone that far why wouldnt you just complete the job if it was easy!!??
I particularly like the questions at the bottom "is it front or rear wheel drive?" :lol: :lol: :lol: The picture of the engine in the back and the fuel in the front would have been the giveaway I think!!! :lol:
