It has potential, most of the fabrication work looks done.

Nice manifold on the rear engine. Cutom rear turrets. central driving position, has good potential, get those engines on some bodies...

Styling so far needs some major attention though. He can keep the bumpers

its already had alot of money spent but for some reason the description is vague

what engines are they?
Gear linkage issues?
Loom problems?

Unless you knew what to do, id imagine it could work out expensive to finish

i dont get bike engined cars, just buy a bike much more fun, and quicker.
maybe a couple of busa turbo engines running circa 400bhp each but nothing less.

Just thought in a lighter car it might cause a few issues
The 6l rwd gold they made a proto type of and tested in on top gear had issues

Bargin for the amount of work and money thats gone into the base of that,

As said it just needs someone with better ideas than fibreglassing everything.
