Well if you where going that Fast then Yes there will Deffo be some Serious Damage.
I managed to Fix my Car quite Cheap as i did most the Work My-Self but it still Costed £200ish.So its upto you Mate.
Redtop may be the Cheaper Option.

Im not 100% Sure as ive never Done one,So dont quote me on this,But to do it properly without cutting Corners I.E Buying Engine,Conversion Kit,Bigger Brakes,Suspension and at least a Part Rebuild of the Engine you'll be looking at near £1000+
If your not that bothered you could probz do it Cheap at like £500
Could someone back this up Please?
