you will have to have a 1.0 12v or 1.2 8v or 1.2 16v unless you have a deep pocket for insurance :thumbs:

Nothing wrong with the low end engine!

I have the 1.2 8v ! And she's not the fastest! But not slow at all! :)

When you drop her on her ass you won't be going fast anyway with these speed bumps!

Do it the way I'm planning on doing it!

Start making her look awesome!

a crashd one, a mot fail, or a non runner,

these are worth quiet a bit at the mo due to the price increase of insurance and petrol on larger car's,

i got mine years back £300 crash damaged (it now has a new life in a different colour)

if your not very good with stuff like that, my advise would be save up about 600-700 and you will get half decent but not mint one :thumbs:
