as a complete unfinished project $3500 ,you get a complete SVO for parts ,a manual CFI GL 5 speed to accept parts and the supercharger kit ,the XR motor and shite loads of parts to suit EA-ED(cam etc ,anything in the shed)
(everything to make one blown SVO, it would only require tuning and paint job!)

separate the kit is $3000 and the both cars/parts for $1100 ( no reg no rwc )

nah air isnt hooked up yet ,the new owner will be doing that (either change to XH tensioner and run old pump ,or have ed modded to suit the AU pump, which ever is cheaper)

I cant be bothered throwing it all together my self ,cause Ive spent more time working on both the XR and SVO than driving em in the last year and Ive had enuff of juggling tools for a while.
my hands are hurting so is the pockets
