Right due to various reasons this car may be for sale but just basically i want to know what it is worth!

Its a P reg shell which used to be an LS and now its fitted with a C20XE with R1 Motorbike Carbs.

It it running a stand alone ignition system so it doesnt use an ecu but i believe it can be run on one if you want, this means that the rev counter doesnt work but we have added another small rev counter on the dash!

It has also got an alpha shift light system wired in which is gd but we rarely take it that high up in the revs for the lights to come on!

We were told that it had a bottom end rebuild about 3,000 miles ago now but have no proof of this!

Current Problems;

The head gasket is on its way out so that would obviously need doing, there seems to be a few oil leaks, 1 from the rocker cover gasket area, 1 from the sump gasket area and also one from the head gasket area!

also it is overfueling so the carbs need to be re set up but it was producing 181bhp with just th carbs and a full system!

Anyway what would it be worth in its current state!

Comes as it is below including wheels!
