    Depends how much you are gonna pay for it. They suffer from chassis rot badly. A good one isn't worth butchering- I'd be fitting an alpine/gordini turbo lump. Or even a gtt lump with a few mods.

    I know what your saying But the next project will be RWD... Perhaps a Gtt lump fitted logditudinay, v cheap power..? Any half decent gearboxes that are light and might fit, or go type 9??? With a bike engine you can use the box!
