Are the mk1’s good project cars

[Nightfire]

Im wanting a nice project to do over the summer. Ive been looking in the local scrappy and theres loads of mk1s in there and thinking of getting one for £40 or whatever, stripping it down to its shell and building up from there. Have no idea what theyre like to work with though? Wanting it to be a show car more than anything, for next year

great cars, try get yourself a valver though as if its a show car and you pop open the bonnet to reveal a blingin 1.4 energy lump, aint gonna look as good as a 16v beast.

worst thing is rust really, virtually all of em have it on the rear arches, inner tailgate etc

If youre going to be messing about with the engine, i wouldnt bother, there aint enough space and even the easiest of jobs just becomes annoying.. or maybe im just crap lol.

can be a project just to keep on the road

^^Very True LMFAO^^

A Valver would be an exspensive project car, due to the cost of parts.......Maybe RT would be cheaper?

Engine wise Im not really bothered about whats in it. Although a nice lump under the bonnet would look good.

Its basically just to advertise/show iceled (led lighting) products as Im trying to be a distributer for them and Im not wanting to mess about with my car anymore than I already have while its still under warranty and stuff.
