Not sure yet, steal the good bits for my track car and break the rest or sell on, only got it today so haven’t made mine up yet.

 

[Slam]

Be a shame to break looks quite tidy

 

[Jjim]

Well I might know a 1.9 that might need some uprated parts

@Mario Was after this as a basis for a ZCAR

 

[Mario]

Let me know what is left, maybe I will take it or buy some bits as I have another 1.9 that could be good for a track day car.

 

[BMBabe]

Someone needs to turn this in to a ZCAR

 

[Mario]

We just need to make sure we don't go off-road with it

What is wrong with it? Why Break it?

It’s got no soft top roof and rusty panels in the usual places. If I took the hardtop, roll cage and seats out it would be a lot of effort to return to road car spec. Not sure what I’ll do with it yet, but even one of my neighbours has commented that it looks great!

I think it looks smart and surely rust is irrelevant on a race car
