CA ok someone give me some history

so i bought a parts car from a forum member . was told it was a rebuild engine from r.r. tho i found some pictures of the same car in the bay area behind a bike someone was sellin on craigslist.

i'm sure the guy i got it from had nothing to do with the build or the rollbar that is in it
anyone know anything

Well they probably meant to build a cage from the looks of it.

name that rx

yeah bought it off a guy from the forums sure he didn't build it . but yeah the motor is painted with the red alternating housings . so it does look like a rr rebuild.
but from the numbers i'm gettin doin the compression test it toast after 30 hours want to see for sure if it is a rr rebuild before i go callin them
