Fully rebuilt front suspension, uprated springs to counter the slightly heavier engine, custom front dampers, new bearings, ball joints and poly bushes ontop of an uprated crossmember running a mk1 steering rack for adjustable preload rather than the later stuff, custom geometry setup, adjustable rear dampers and adjustable brake bias. She handles very well indeed, near spot on weight distribution now and on track can push enough so that either the front or rear breaks traction when you want it, infact the only problems I can think of I need to sort now are the rear axle wind up (due to the tramp making the axle move fore aft about the single anti tramp bar) and on gravel stages the lack of a slipper makes low speed corners less predictable. It gets autotested, autosolo'd, rallied, tracked, whatever I can find and afford really. As to the OP's question, I consider my own car to be worth roughly the ball park of this ebay listing. It has a huge amount of custom development and engineering in the engine and drivetrain to cope with the increased power, same with the suspension and brakes. Add onto that a bodyshell which although isn't likely to win BKV's, has had 6 solid weeks of my time over 2 years being welded to ensure it's not only strong but that nothing has affected the geometry (I've seen too many 300's with the front leaf hangers moved recently). That price wouldn't touch the amount of money and hours thrown at it. It's one of the reasons I try to bring it to BKV's etc, it doesn't look much but it drives amazingly. Thing is, that doesn't convey itself that well when it's stood in a field
