Ok, i told you guys about it a while ago, i THOUGHT it had a 5lt Range Rover engine in it, but it has a 3.5lt V8 stroked out to a 4.7lt. It has LSD, VL brakes, ABS, Traction control, been converted to right hand drive, changed to coil springs from leaf springs, and a massive list of other shit. Will make roughly 250kw at the wheels, and has over 400 neuton meters of torque at the rear wheels.

Pics are either http://phakt.blaman.net/pictures.htm there, or if you want the exact links;

He isn't doing it to drive it or to put it in shows, he is doing it because he loves to design cars etc, and this provides him with a shit load of design and creation. He has built and designed the whole car. He doesn't want to finish it, just wants to work on it forever, because after he has finished it he has nothing else to do and wont ever sell it and has no room for another project (he is about 40 something)
