The ad says took a part a low milage car and it owes £20k to date.





Think about it, think about it again and then do it.

Fugly comes to mind
£20 is a bit expensive for this beauty.

I'm no big Subaru fan, but that was a waste of one, looks like something we used to make from Meccano.

It would make a nice donor car, for £500.

How the hell hes managed to spend £20k on that I'll never now, unless is has a 700hp engine his semi retired mechanic must have robbed him blind for labour costs. Those upper wishbones look really short aswell dont buggies normally have longer throw suspension?

Just had another look and this and noticed something very dodgy with the front upper wishbone brackets, use the zoom function and see if you can spot it, and I'm not talking about the brackets being welded onto some what looks like 3mm plate. I hope theres a chassis member behind there as that looks like it would flex a bit when load is put through it, thats if the first thing I saw doesnt fail first, although theres no tell tale signs of it being welded to a chassis rail behind it.
