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.

The down fall with that car is live rear axle, so our car is much sperior to that, it is not a bargain!!!

Yep, if you look at the pics you can see the Diff, Shafts, uprights etc..
It's just listed badly.

Yes it definitely has the Haynes back end on it and looks like an LSD.
But yes there is still a lot of work to do, someones had too much red bull when they listed that one.....;)

As does all the disk braked diffs.
Only XR4x4r's, Ghia 4x4 and Cosworths got an LSD.
