The "Buy it Now" price seems pretty steep for a live axle FFR Mk3 - even a pretty one with a side-oiler.

And yes, the fuel line needs re-routing - it would be pretty easy to crush or tear the way it is now. How many other things on this car would show signs of similar short-cuts or installation errors?

I'm not really buying the whole side-oiler engine creating "added value" in a budget-minded FFR build. The side-oiler may actually detract from this FFR's value, since IMO, FFR owners are about lightweight inexpensive innovative low/lower maintenance builds that reach out more to the younger crowd of Cobra, even 1st time Cobra buyers.

Side-oilers are for old farts and geysers.

So, the side-oiler in this FFR may actually reduce the amount of buyers in the target market/audience.
