Default Time for a Change....

I thought i'd make a quick post incase people haven't noticed that the SLOWEA is up for sale. I have decided to either sell the car and build a new one, or keep going with this one. But one thing is for sure......either way the car will not be setup for street driving (if ya know what i mean..). I have thought long and hard about it...and i think I've gotta go one way or the other....either have a resonably quick street car which is always gonna be targeted by the boys in blue or go all out and set it up for drag racing. I will keep you guys posted on what's happening, but keep your eyes out later in the year for the finished product.....I'm still planning on running the car at Easternats, so anyone wishing to come for a spin come along. Also if anyone would like to help out and let me borrow a T5 box to have on standby for the Easter weekend let me know... :Reverend:

DONT SELL IT!!! Its too good to sell. I would love to go for a spin in that thing at easternats. If i had the money right now i would buy that in a second. I think you should do it up more and see how fast an e-series can get.

If you were to sell it, what sort of project would you be looking at doing?

Thats sad Dave, damn police!! Ever thought of getting it all engineered? It might cost you about $3000 but it would be worth it IMO.

Its a bloody nice car not to be on the streets.

Find something light to whack it all into if you want it to be race only. Small body + big power =

You're the last person I thought would sell up!

Put an auto in it before you do anything drastic! Reg is pretty cheap at the end of the day compared to everything else that you need to build a car like yours.

I do hope you end up keeping it as it's a real work of art, but I know it can be a very tough call to make.
