Hi guys,

I've come across this on my search for a donor car and thought it might help someone else

Good find, but I would imagine not much of it is of use if you are building an RWD locost!

Might be different if you are building a Middy or some else that might take FWD bits.

Reasonable and cheap first car for someone though. Peanuts to insure.

That will fetch good money for an xr3i rs turbo re shell.

No locost value

SORN'ed in Nov.... but looks to be sat on the road in the recent cold temps!!!

I had one of them, it was awful, cheap and awful. Put a 1600CVH in it and it transformed it. Ended up upside down in a field after clearing the fence.
