Yes its a long story, i know all the history to it. Lets just say the car has had some problems. Gary's a great guy and all that so don't want to slag him off. More than anything problems neccestated the head coming off and a few concerns about the bottom end setup so I want to get some more hp out of it and want the confidence of having an engine, drive chain and car built by a professional mechanic/tecnition who does it at a high level every day and knows all the little idioscnsies( can't spell to save my self). My guy knows these cars back to front inside out upside down , blind folded ....he is onto his second ST205 and has passion for them
