well been thinking what to get started with next,

one idea is to get a loan of around 3k and have the shell welded/sprayed inside and out so its mint (thinking of a colour similar to this http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3187/2700463819_d8aaceb1d4.jpg)

then have the engine sorted, skimmed, flowed etc..


thoughts?

Love that colour!

So after sorting the body on this car and getting a runabout, what else are you gonna do with the £3k?
Get an ABF fitted in the Mk1 ? That would suprise a few people at the lights.
You probably wouldn't want a much bigger engine in the front of a Mk1, too heavy.

1.8 20v or 2.0 16v running ITB's, some smoothing here and there, a decent respray and a phat set of rims

even if you keep the 1.5 carb and mint it, its going be

cant wait to see progress either way!
