HaydnH Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Shame this isn't in the UK, we could all have a 240Z to restore and keep Alex busy with parts requests: http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C200793 Quote

rabbitstew Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 I'd love to do a good old Peugeot 205 GTi......................... Makes me feel old all this talk of classic cars and people are saying about manta`s and 205gtis. I remember when they were brand new!!! In my day a classic car was anything pre 1980`s! Id expect stuff like 205 gti`s to still hold their money, they used to be really popular for hillclimbs and rallys so there was a lot of bits around. I still see the odd gti floating about here & there. I remember buying a 1988 1.9 gti for 850quid around 10 years ago, when at the time they were selling for £2500. It needed some accident repair work which I did, then drove it for a year before selling it for £2400. Not a bad car, very rev`y and quick throttle response, sounded ace with janspeed exhaust. The mad lumpy idle did take a lot of getting used to and you`d kangaroo along in slow traffic. Personally I preferred the Renault 5 GT Turbo - ive had about 4 of them, but you really have to know them inside out before you buy one as there's loads of bad ones out there where owners just dont know the cars well enough to look after them. Ive always fancied a mk1 cortina.... Quote

rabbitstew Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 the beetle scene is huge, i like the idea of building a porsche beetle. Theres a few on youtube with suburu wrx engines in them which look interesting!. Beetles were expensive when I was a kid, and I think they are probably even more expensive now tho. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 i'd love a lancia intergrale for a restoration project Quote
Andy75 Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Ooh good call Or an early Audi Quattro. All these cars mentioned so far have been targets of resto's on Wheeler Dealers - I recommend it to awaken your inner greasemonkey and get fired up for some spanner work! Quote

varley16 Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 i would go for a jag, 10 years experience with jags so it would be easier to do for me. Quote
Ricey Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Do you watch much Wheeler Dealers by any chance? lots of good inspiration there! HAHA I watch it loads and it makes me want to do things like this which will inevitably end in failure! Quote
