Interest Check - Ka Project
edspurrier - 23/3/09 at 03:14 PM

GF's 1.3 Ka has just had a head gasket failure. Not yet sure how much it will cost to sort, so in case it's ridiculous, is anybody potentially interested in a 2002 1.3 Ka wtih 115k or so as a project? COuld swap for a Zetec and have quite a lot of fun I suspect

Thanks
Ed

The KA was origionaly designed to take a "bike engine esque" engine.... so.... turbo Busa anyone?
