Going on from this thread, I think I will give a project car a go. More to get into the restoration side of things.

But, it would be on a limited budget. And limited space....so not too mental!

Ideas? Go!!!!

Well I've just done my e36 m3. Took me about 10 months and in a tight garage.

Ever since I had a Mk2 Polo breadvan, I wondered what it would be like if you could put a decent V6 in the rear of it and make it rear wheel drive.
It certainly wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea and would probably not be worth much to anyone else, but as an exercise in engineering it would be good and worth it to surprise a few people on the road.

That would be awesome.
It's a mk2. Fill it, drive it, enjoy it.  :smiley:
