did anyone also see the fluid of sorts dripping down the side of the engine in the pic of the turbo manifold?

but other than that there is a lot of gear that could be used to make a cool running turbo car.

Mmmm. Taped up mirrors, wonky looking bumper, no grille, terrible paint... the body looks like it needs some serious work.

I bet it's a car full of shortcuts and dodgyness. It lasted him that long only because he kept a Ford badge on it!

It's actually on its last day of bidding (5-day bid period) and so far.... 0 bids!
