i like v8's, had a stock RS1600 i and loved the 80's look, so built a spaceframed v8 rs! never finished it, sold it at the finishing stage to a guy for about £150! did 7 years work on it, would have been great, and i regret getting rid, but i had too much on at the time!

 

heres a few pics, enjoy!!
