Are real RS4s unattainable now?

[JLv3.0]

I hope so, I'll white-background the crap out of mine and retire

No, but the B5 RS4 was estate only.

It looks nowt like a Cobra, it you wanted to do that why wouldn't you buy a Cobra rep shell and drop the running gear in?

Guessing a Cobra shell costs much more than £2500 - but not looking shit is pretty priceless isn’t it.

Nah, you can get a brand new rolling chassis for £5k, looks the part too.

I can see why you would use a from an engineering point of view. All the panels including rear quarters are bolt on/off, a complete interior, and a proper factory developed roof.

However, they weren't ever a great drive, and they're surprisingly expensive unless you want a slow 1.9 4parper.

It's also a bit worrying that to fit the front end they have removed the main bumper beam and dampers which link the front end of the two main chassis legs together so even a low speed bump is likely to cause significant damage.

3 grand .

[nuttinnew]

Too much? Too little?
I haven't watched the vids linked in the ad admittedly.

[ZedLeg]

How much would you pay for a hacked up golf with scrapyard running gear?

I'd say £1500 was optimistic myself.

[integrale_evo]

The engine bay certainly looks a bit scrapheap challenge

[nuttinnew]

Good points well made. I'd thought of it in terms of how much it'd cost to have someone do the chassis mods, and made the assumption you'd have to tinker with it anyway. No, tinkering doesn't mean replacingeveryfeckinbit.

Needs to be lowered.

That looks like it'll be really fun until you tip it over and die .

[Rich B]

Does that even have the power to turn those wheels?!

[JLv3.0]

Looks like some sort of supercharged V8 up front, so it should be OK

edit - although it sure as hell isn't chucking out 500 bhp on an s/c Rover V8 boat anchor.

[Rich B]

Oh yeah, should have read the description!

Although “built it from a totally standard truck. when i bought it there was a nissan fd35 engine in it but that was the only mod it had”...
