Mk1's look very nice. but you've got to take the bumpers off it, get some fat wheels and drop it. Although they are quite rusty.

it depends on what engine you want putting in really
give him a ring see what he says

would be cheaper if you bought the engine got the car ready for engine to drop in
less labour charges
