what's wrong with it mate? just drop another engine in, it's gotta be cheaper..
RE: sourcing a new car - the milkman - 03-11-2012
well it some how blow a hole in bottom end on idle
and tbh needed full brake and suspension set up doing along with body work, rather get something half decent and slowly do it up since i got it as a bag of spanners to start with

plus im only planning on spending 500-600 quid so i know its not gonna be mint and may need work but whats the thought on the matter?
RE: sourcing a new car - Jonny81191 - 03-11-2012
306 all the way, IMO a 205 is gonna need a bit more work
RE: sourcing a new car - the milkman - 03-11-2012

Bugger, could have saved a DT...
RE: sourcing a new car - the milkman - 03-11-2012
i know the pain mate
hurt me to see it go
but im being pulled towards the 205 look tbh, anyone know a reason why i shouldn't?
sourcing a new car - THE_Liam - 03-11-2012
Nope. 205s are amazing...
RE: sourcing a new car - the milkman - 03-11-2012
would be a derv 205
RE: sourcing a new car - 306Dan - 04-11-2012
make it a big blower derv, FTW
then go trolling some rich kids
RE: sourcing a new car - the milkman - 04-11-2012
Well that's what I was hoping dan
I don't know much about 205's though like about the suspension brakes ect
RE: sourcing a new car - Poodle - 04-11-2012
I'm sure you'll learn just as quick as you have with the 306, it's not much different.
RE: sourcing a new car - Toms306 - 04-11-2012
Afaik the suspension and brakes are pretty much the same.
I personally wouldn't own a car as old as a 205 though....see Ginge's beam for the reason why.
RE: sourcing a new car - the milkman - 17-11-2012
that it ive decided on a xud big blower 205
