MK visit
I visited MK this afternoon. Friday afternoon, not long before they were closing. Asking semi-noobie questions.
I am afraid I dont know their names, but they were friendly & helpful and I am so glad I went.
Good guys, and their chassis' look great.

I am crunching the numbers, but funds wont allow a great deal.
I could just afford a bicycle engine (me) and running gear (pedals, chain & sprockets) if I bought the deluxe kit!
Looking at the locost chassis or kit.

Just go for a Pinto jobby and use as much of the donor parts inc engine as you can. You won't be dissapointed!

if you're on a budget then i deffinately agree with the above. even with a heavy stoneage pinto dropped in it'll still be the biggest buzz
you've likely ever had driving!
built a car, built a home, had a family. lost the family, lost the home, still got the car.

Yep, 0-60 in 6 seconds in my Std 2 litre which aint slow!! Plus you can upgrade when funds allow to either tune the pinto, upgrade to a Zetec, cossy
turdo, 4age, xe, V6 or even a V8!!
But not bike engine...no no no!

Go pinto if your on a low budget. Theyr still quick and cheap. As said you can upgrade later on to another engine when funds allow if you fancy a
change..
