Looks like a bargain for someone. I do hate people who claim a percentage complete for the build. Thats no where near 75%, its got no seats, rollbar, radiator, cooling, wiring, fusebox, brakes lines, fuel tank, fuel lines, prop shaft, bodywork, lights, dash, exhaust Etc Etc...... Its virtually a bare chassis. It would cost thousands to finish that car.

Track rod ends and pedal box are interesting.
