Other than that, could be the key to making a wolf in sheeps clothing if anyone had a scrap 8v or 16v with a good body on it.

Post by: hobbiniho on 18 May 2008, 14:26: doubt if the running gear would be able to cope with 300 bhp :shocked: :shocked: might need to upgrade to rallye stuff or even conversion to audi quattro running gear :cool:

I think that is what he meant, and yes, I believe it would fit.

Problem is he said

"the sump is SMASHED" and "the suspension and running gear is '99%' ok" (After it ploughed into something hard and low by the looks and sound of it) :undecided:

Its a massive risk, prob best to give them a call if anyone was interested considering the owner can buy it back for 10-15% of its rated value by the insurers (obviosly not in this case) but how much do you reckon the salvage yard paid for it hahahaha!! Not Ã‚£1500!!!
