And i love it, drove great on the 90 mile journey home, the guy said he had been told it was rebuilt by Scorpion racing, tried their website but it don't exist any more, anyone heard of them, i think its def had some sort of tweaking as its fitted with a exhaust temp gauge and an hour meter? What ya think

Spotted that when i went to look and there is some crud, will get a new crossmember fitted eventually. Speaking of which, what's happened to Black sheep offroad, the website seems to have disappeared was hoping to have it done by him when i got the spare cash.
 
Scorpion racing went bust I think, had a very bad reputation with some for ripping off products. They then resurfaced as extreme4x4

The guy i bought it from didn't really know anything about it but from what i can see, it has a 19j engine that really pulls well, and not a single oil leak, lots of poly bushes, disc brake rear axle and some sort of lift kit, probably more to find well pleased
 
scrapiron racing.

As jackmac said; they closed, left bills unpaid and accounts not paid from what i heard.

Then extreme4x4(who are just as shonky).
 
My first 90 was a TD . when a young lad ran into the back of it and wrote it off I bought a 300 hard top 90 and loved it to bits . wonder if shes still alive ? N327cwx conniston green hard top 90

I have been planning a 300tdi conversion before even picking the motor up but after the drive home I`m quite suprised with the way it runs and will stick with the td lump for now.
