I saved the post. https://wfs.bc.edu/melket/Public/Car_stuff/.../eBayISAPI.html I did get a test drive in it. Really Rough. Needed a bit of paint work, gridning tires on fenders , loose mirror. bad driver's front axle. Too bad he at least didn't clean it up at least. :-( In fairness, It was Fast. Probably All that mattered. It was not worth the 12K he was asking IMHO. To a Real rich Enthusiast, it would have been a Good Project car. I actually wish I could have afforded to buy it. Just needed a bit more work than I, a mere mortal, could afford. There is No Reason why he could not have sourced a JDM ST205, US AllTrac, Camry Alltrac etc tank. The tank he put in would only take ~9gallons (?) because he used the stock filling pipe. Seeing One in person, makes it seem like it is doable. :-) The trick is, it will never be economical to do it. I know of at least One Real rhd ST205 Legal in the US. Regards; ----------------------------------------- |
