might help with a sale then.
but seriously that's the third, unless this is one of the green/red ones we seen before resprayed white, bodykit'd fb's, so who
made the kit and thought it suited the fb?
then there is the interior... dunno where to begin there.

I think this might be the same guy that was fixing it up. I sent him a carb as the one he had was somewhat leaky. He sent me a couple of pics when it was green ... it looks much better in white, believe me! He also mentioned the Fast and Furious connection so maybe there is some truth in that? In fact, hang on while I call Rita Ora! She's bound to know something
Shame that the underbonnet action is so lame though

Still rocking the air pump so it's a little asthmatic as well

when it was for sale back in January with the leaking carb, it was in Wolverhampton where the rest of these monstrosities have been 'created'..... different ebay seller too.
I'd say the line about it being built for the film is a deluded fantasy dreamt up by the loon who built this car to impress ............ well, god knows who?
A good line to drop into your ad though to make punters think it's something special.
PS
Did I mention that I was told my silver RX7 was used in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking barrels? It's many scenes never made the final edit.........................of course I can not confirm this , an interesting bit of history none the less

Today I put on a wig, shaved the Handlebar off, put on some shades & went to see the "Fast & Furious" FB
It was worse than I thought, I insisted it was not started before my arrival (cold), to my surprise it started after about 7/8 turns
It is a miss mash (apart from the Bodywork) It had a S3 oil cooler S2 radiator/clock & spare wheel & the original Air Pump
Underneath is not good even though it has a current MOT (probably its last ever), the bulkhead around the door hinges is shot, as is the normal corrosion points.
There is a spare Carb in the boot so I guess the leaking carb is sorted as I could not see any seepage mixed in with the dirt oil & overspay
It has one redeeming feature, a moonroof
I spent the rest of the morning in a dark room, therapy may still be on the cards
I do not think I was recognised
