I’ve always loved the look of new edge saleens, never cared for the 2v drivetrain. So I bought 2002 S281sc #408, a MG car with 77k miles with the goal of putting a 4v twin turbo swap.
Bought the car out of state and it arrived a pile of hot trash...engine barely ran, missing and smoking, interior was trashed with broken pieces, areas were repainted poorly and Saleen graphics missing. Couldn’t even drive it home from meeting the delivery truck, had AAA come pick it up. Not happy, but that’s what I get. Anyways -
Here’s the car:
