    Hi all

    Recently bought a very early R53 as a project. Built March 2002 and registered 2nd May, RE02WJF was a launch car. Currently undergoing a bit of minor surgery, new belt tensioner, crankshaft pulley, alternator, belt, supercharger service etc. Next job is
    Likely to be front subframe out and powder coated. Hoping to have it back on the road for summer
