To kill two bird with one stone, i'm useless at thin metalwork repairs, i did a small resto on my brothers capri and within 2 years it was all back, lots of rust showing through, so i'm certainly no good at body repairs, and apparently i'm pretty bad at troubleshooting lpg systems too
I'm fairly happy messing about and trying to make stuff faster, so i picked my favourite shaped car and set about making perform (trying anyway). I saw a scimitar when i was 9 and fell in love with it, i got this one with my first years student loan
And being fibreglass i should havr to repair too many thin metal panels
I love the shape though the shooting brake is awesome, like my other fave the z3 m coupe, the farrai ff is a looker too
As for the engine, its a peach, its easy for transplants as it comes with a robust manual gearbox, its very compact with the narrow v angle, and ita the mosy powerful in this sort of price bracket. the remote gear lever is easily adapted for a different position in the project car. the other option is the cossy 24v anf that is a real pain to sort the gearbox out for.
