OK, i've been bored today and scrapheap challenge got me thinking. I'm a fairly good DIY mechanic, and i'm quite willing to give anything a go. I've got a couple of mates who are roughly at the same level (all part of a motor club and used to bodging cars back together after breaking them), so i was thinking that we should put our heads together and create something. After making the suggestion, at least 2 others are interested, so we want to try and come up with some ideas. Noting wild to start off with, just something we can use as a platform and gradually work on. We have a Capri V6 that could be a starting point, but needs work. Another option would be the SD1, in a Jeremy Clarkson fashion (if you've seen that vid). I was also thinking a Pug 505 Mi16 or doing up an old V6 if we could find one. Maybe an old V6 Granada (the 80s one), coz i think they're cool. Possibly do something silly to my Volvo when i get rid of it in the new year (R5 GTT lump?)
Any other ideas would be considered. BAsically cheap is the name of the game, and ideally RWD. We'll all put a bit of cash in, and hopefully do something over the spring/summer - so plenty of time to plan. I know i send these sort of posts out every now-and-again when i'm bored, but looks like it might really happen this time!
