Definately a Karma kit car, certainly looks like it scrubs up well.

Does it run?

Not running yet but im working on that as we speak. Just ordered a load of stuff from car builder solutions and a new starter motor as the one on the car is weak then iv'e just got to rebuild the carb as the gaskets on there have perished then it should fire up. The underneath of the car is sound and it has a few electrical gremlins but as im a sparky that shouldn't be a problem.after that off for an mot and find out what it needs to get it on the road and let the fun begin.
