Nu or Old skool ;/
« on: 25 October 2006, 23:20 »
Ok so when one has money enough to either get a mkIV 20VT and go realy euro smooth and spent an eternity fibreglassing it.

or does one opt for the classic mk1 / 2, which probably needs stripping down to a bear shell, rust removal/prevention.. and/or a respray. and go for a deacent engine which is el mucho work, and go for the rallye slag look and have zero comfort again (like my problem is at the moment)
Group N billies + hard as nails springs on my coilovers arent nice to drive what so ever. infact having to close the glovebox every few seconds drives me mad. so does bouncing around on sh!tty roads constantly thinking, i hope i didnt crack the shell on that pot hole etc etc.

what would the majority of you do? :)
(avoiding an absolutlet mind boggling task of putting a mk3 / 4 dash into a mk1/2 along with complete car loom etc etc. becaus eid di that wiht my AX and it was a nightmare lol.

but what about the rust, having to respray etc etc :P
