I worked roll-in for SEMA and saw them push the car into its spot. At this point, it doesn't run.

Neat car. That rear hatch is very similar to the Spoon hardtop for the S2000.

That said, I hate it when people don't take a "basic" picture of a car. All we get are weird angles and funky detail shots.

I agree with this. I want a real picture of the car.

do you have to be a full member to post pictures in a reply? Cause I actually just came back from SEMA and saw the car in person and took a couple pictures!

They are shitty iPhone pics, but some are decent

If it didn't have the carbon hood with such a radical, rice-o-licious design, it would looks pretty tight. Of course the w****r power is pretty cool.

Shoo the pics my way Ringo and I'll post 'em for you! You can always use a 3rd party hosting service even if you're not a member, I'm pretty sure[?]

Engine looks to me to be a S4 Turbo2 block with a FD 13b-rew UIM. Also seems to have a S4 (86-88) shift-knob, so maybe same year trans.

Body filler, sand, paint and then lets see. Right now it looks like a junkyard special.

And I am totaly with Jonboy on the camera angle rant. Those thumbnails are the worst possible angle you could choose, but maybe that is to hide the butchered bodywork look.
