Well I decided to build,restore a car a few months ago.mainly as one of the lads is rebuilding a mk1 escort,.I was planning to buy a rover 100,fit tf subframes,rear engine the car with a kv6.Then perhaps use Freelander IRD box and make it 4wd.But it would cost god know what plus time .I have seen on some forums so guys do so much to their cars they no longer resemble the car it started out as,and of course many projects never get finished.
So decided to plan and work out on paper,.but after speaking to you guys I will keep the mgf suspension,powder coat the subframes and any other rusty metal I find.
Fit some standard shocks,zinc coated bolts on everything,
Engine wise simply make it a vvc,mild sports exhaust will need advise on that please.
Will under wax the inner wings and underside when she is a bear shell.
The carpet and leather is spot on,however will get it all treated and cleaned.
I guess the whole sum will be around £1000 for what I hope is a car that looks almost new.
Will have new service items,shocks,clutch,brakes,belts etc.
