It SUCKS.
Wanna go to a shop to get parts? You can't. You can't drive there.
Wanna go cycle there? You can't take the parts with you.
The store asks to take a look at your car? They can't because you cant drive it there.
Want to drive to some friends to work on the car? You can't, you can't drive there.
Wanna show of your ride to friends? Well it's boring becuase you can't drive it.
Wanna rev it? Sure but the engine is cold because it's standing still...

So on, so on.
DO NOT BUY IT!
It's useless.. It's like having art that slowly rusts and eats money infront of your eyes.

BTW this is my experience and I had to wait 3 months and it wasn't even a project car.

I'm going to say it, I don't have all the money in the world; but it's enough for me. If it means doing extra work (paper round or sweeping hair dressers are the only things legal for my age) then f*** it, why not eh? I live on a private road, the people on it wouldn't mind too much if I give it a test to see how she runs, (going up and back down) I can get parts as well, cousin is a trained and working mechanic so I can get him to get them and when he finishes he can whip round with them and I'd pay him. So yeah, I am leaning towards getting that sexy beast of a thing.
