RabNo1 - 26/7/02 at 01:03 AM

ok first of all i want a bike powered locost, but i want to start off with a doner car and drop a bike engine in it maybe a year later. So what i want to know it what is the best doner car to go for keeping in mind im gonna wanna be able to drop a bike engine in with as little modification as possible (e.g. use the same diff, driveshaft, etc..)

cheers

I havent saw many Cortina's about but i aint exactlly gonna start building now so i have time to look for one. Incase i cant find a Cortina or i get a good deal on another car is there any other that i can use all the running gear just like with the Cortina?

Oh yeh i saw a pic of you in your car (atleast i think it was yours)with a helmet and no windscreen, did that pass the sva test ok?

cheers
