Hi,

Anyone know the owner or history of this car?

Not looking to buy it, interesting in the history of certain parts of the car.

yeah, it's been for sale for AGES too.
From memory it only had a TD04 in it then too, but it has advertised it's got a TD05 now.

History of the manifold/wastegate.

I'm 99% sure that its my old one, the extensions to the runners, the dodgy welding. Reason I ask is that I sold the car to someone, and it was then stolen from that owner, stripped and burnt.

Doesn't affect me directly, as I sold it, but yeah, sad to see stolen parts around.

HOWEVER!! I might be completely wrong, and its perfectly fine :)
