i think the astra/golf and fiat are the cars of choice, engines choices are next to the cars
i'd go for the golf if its a mk1

Non buy the sounuds of it!
Astra be nice - not rare but its not on the scale of a redtop corsa. Easyish to do i understand aswell.
Golf - might aswell just buy a vr6 unless you want to run around with cheap insurance * flame suit*
Fiat - would fly and not many knocking about at all. Cant imagine it lasting long though

If your not gunna declaire the engine, don't bother doing it.
Go get the bus instead.
If thats not the idea, just do the fiat, very slowly

Nice one
I think the Fiat would be awesome, plus easier to work on, cheaper to run than the juicy old V6's

a mates friend had a mr2turbo lump in his punto, was bloody crazy stupid! Kept breaking every 5 minuits tho, reliability is a issue when doing conversions.
