Shame the top one is so old, it looks awesome 
Green one looks a minter too.
Can't say i've seen either before, are they off here?

Are cars like this reliable?

thats seems so cheap for so much power

I haven't seen either before.
I like the pre-97 look.
But that red one is lovely  the age wouldn't put me off, newer than some Nova's, and C20LET engines aren't exactly 'young'.

The top one is awesome, does age really matter as long as the cars in good nick and the engines refurbed or newer?

Tbf, if you saw a very good project thread showing what had been done and how things went wrong / then they were fixed, would you still be put off?

Yeah totally, theres plenty that goes on that people will not publish on their projects out of fear. Regardless of how many photos, comments, fuckups, or circle jerks that get posted in someones project thread there is always margin for stuff that hasnt been documented or broadcasted.

I love the green one, was it not for sale on here over a year ago? Used to have anthracite speedlines and smoked rears, different backbox I think to

Top one is a mate of mines, built my old corsa turbo for me. And also doing a lot of work to my nova. Car was built to brilliant standards. Not sure what condition it will be in now though, the guy in Dunfermline he sold it to kicked the utter shit out of it. Then hit 3rd when going for 5th and blew the engine to pieces. It was then sold on to someone in Aberdeen. Seems to have been passed around a fair bit, which would put me off tbh.
