It then sat in his garage as he originally bought it to turn it into a racer but could never bring himself to take an angle grinder near it as it was too tidy to throw wide guards etc on. So it sat for over 10 years in the corner of his garage collecting dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at what I found!!! A photo of another Sport being worked on. Hey, did I take that photo? My old car at least and fun fact, the card under the spoiler is a rude card and all of the people in that pic are brothers and sister. Edit. Spoke to my friend and that's not him in the middle, its the neighbour. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't know of anyone who possibly owned it at some point? Rude card??? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
