Mine is bad too, but I am going to build 2 galvanised subframes with new parts.
After considering it, this is probably the way I'm going to go too.
Since I'd also like to work on an entirely new engine, it makes sense to work on that and bolt it to a new galvanised subframe then do a straight swap for the old subframe and engine.
why a new engine mike? yours is in perfect order isnt it?
I'd be interested in either cramming the KV6 in there or looking at a VTEC option for more bhp.
160 is alright, but I'd thoroughly enjoy wiping the smug grins off the faces of supercar owners.
