Welcome to the club, there a few one ebay at the minute. good luck with your search.:)

It really depends on how strong your budget is. Currently I know of cars from a running project that needs welding, mot, tax and other jobs for £1,200 to a mint tungsten grey with all the right toys for £6,500.

Your best bet is to search the usual channels:

eBay
Gumtree
Pistonheads etc etc

Or better still the classifieds section of this forum :agree:


Welcome by the way :)

Says he might sell it not 100% though, does anyone know the car? Looks like the previous owner has left the club

I know the car well and the original person who converted it, good car just needs exterior tarting up. Engine and setup easily capable of 200bhp+ just needs the mapping done properly:agree:

Cheers James, can you recommended anyone to map one of these with the volvo lump?

I used to use Europarts in Stoke when I had mine but they've closed now

Done think scoff mapps megasquirt. No doubt he will easily be able to do it but may be software issues and may be better finding someone knows the lay out etc...
