wont be for a little while as i have other priorities right now, but my current plan for a next project is a chevette with 2.0 8v.

should be cheap to buy and build. hopefully be able to make something quick and fun for not a lot of cash.

something like this would be the plan, although i thought it wouldn't go above about £350.

any pics of that Tom?

i had my eyes on a firenza not too long ago, but i reckon a chevette will be simpler to owrk on for some reason.

early manta would be cool as hell. pretty rare to see on on the road.

just thought about the paint Jambo, and i think a respray will break the £500 budget

yes but it would be worth it, a green mettalic, or maybe a purple mettalic, we could prep it save a fortune

yeah the pole does look a bit dodgy but loads of people use it!
you can also move the resovoir some where and do it like that some how!
