YUP So chucking in a whole working engine in with manual gearbox attached might work out to be pretty cost effective?

Haha, to be fair though, without spending a pretty penny on getting it into mint condition (and why bother on a low spec 1.4 auto?), then my suggestion would give it the most visual impact, it's all about making it look cool without making it look pristine. I guess what I'm basically suggesting is rat look! At £50 it's virtually disposable so you may aswell have a bit of fun with it Very Happy

Indeed i do... thing is though with a main dealer you rarely get cars like that in, its more new stuff, working on vans all the time i never really get the chance of a cheeky bargain unless its a clapped out transit van Laughing


and with regard to the welding your not wrong there haha!

No definitely mate, I'm all for it, and you're right on the money, it just amused me that I could accurately predict your response....generally either rat or preferably euro Very Happy
