Project car

[Burgy]

Sooooo...


I really want a project car..

I was thinking of an old mini, turning it into a bakkie and either turbo'ing it or putting an R1 engine in.

What else do you guys recommend?

Looking for something smallish.. but something cool..

Definitely going to put a turbo in..

How about a 1978 Toyota corolla??
My first car i bought myself was one, they look kinda like a Ford Mustang from the front, and I am sure you can find one that still has a pretty sound body. :dunno:

A Renault 5. I've always liked them done up in MAX Power UK, they're light and would look awesome smoking a unsuspecting douche driver in something as tiny as that

how about a peugeot 206??

peugot 206 = :yuck:

Renault 5 is not bad, but something more main stream, so parts are easy to find.

Small because i want it to be a daily drive. Not too small though..

It has to be ridiculous when its done.. ie bright yellow, turbo'd and some other funny stuff.

im a new bmw owner and new to the forum. i had a 206gti180 which was written off recently.
206 is not a bad car. 206gti180 not a good project car though. the normal 206gti is...

im guessing you on a small budget? if not why not an early mini cooperS you can get crazy power in them...

 

[Burgy]

Silver_surfer: Welcome! What bmw do you have? 206 isnt really my cup of tea hey.

Early cooper S's were supercharged, Id rather get a later turbo one.

Small budget just cause Im stingy :rollsmile::rollsmile:

 

[moranor@axis]

so what are to turbo ones going for now

Would contribute an X5 4.8i with Body Kit, wide and low as can be....:joy:

 

[Karthik]

I'd say an E30 cause I'm craze about them

 

[zaleonardz]

I have it....

Burg, buy a prius, and put a V8 in it.....

 

[moranor@axis]

I gather you need something that is low on fuel?

get a smart car put a hayabusa engine in it and push the front wheels out to make it a rat rod :rollsmile: (i have to build this one day)

 

[Burgy]

Maybe an e30 2dr?

 

[Sankekur]

Find a decent one first :rollsmile:

Maybe an e30 2dr?

You on , if you looking for a running 325is , with a bad history at a craze cheap price and alot of work to get her back to original or better , I saw the car today , its pretty but terrible .

 

[moranor@axis]

Find a decent one first :rollsmile:

then try to park it anywhere without it getting stolen :rollsmile:

 

[Sankekur]

On average a good condition e30 will get stolen once every 3.5 seconds :rollsmile:
