Default On Ebay.

Has anyone seen the completed chassis on ebay. BMW based and extremely orange, a good head start for someone but the guy doesn't get a very good rating so beware. It's located in Welshpool

you can hardly call that a poor rating when it is just one neg feedback he's got.
On the item itself ....it is stupid cheap at the mo and I would expect it to get up nearer and over 1000 .....it is a near complete package for someone to get a serious head start if they want it.

But when you go into the negative feedback it is quite blunt, but I do agree it looks a nice build

I bought it

as its my first post

I'm known in most places as Brake Buster ( BB ) , have fully restored a V12 XJS from a total rust heap , and i have been driving her around now after her show year last year , and now i'm bored.....lol


3648 by MyPix on Talk Photography

my mate got himself a Westfield, and i thought it would be good to do something similar , but different
I have been watching unfinished projects for a while, and comparing them to a fully welded new chassis ,

and when this BMW powered , modified chassis come up , and the price was right, i grabbed it

the seller is a great lad, and even delivered it the 80 miles to my house the next day for £80 , can't grumble about that .... he even brought his engine hoist to get the engine out of the van for me......

its now in my garage with the front suspension built back up , and the engine back in, as it was dismantled for delivery ,

trawling the internet for info and parts , it will probably take me 2 years of tinkering, but i think i have a good head start

That is one gorgeous XJS you have there, i know how much work it takes to get one fully sorted so well done, old chap Reckon you have done mighty well at getting that little lot for half a grand as well. Now all you have to do is extend the chassis a bit, get that V12 out and get it in the roadster
