    Engine bay was primed but never painted dunno why wasn't my car when It was painted .... Looks like a light blue color which is why I was sceptical that it mightve been a mock up but all the number checks work out

    Only thing I questioned the seller about was the power figures seems a bit high but he swore it was correct and gave me the dyno sheet :-) I reckon it was a very kind dyno ... But power figures never meant much to me it's best 1/4 pass was a bees dick under 13sec
