no offence to doo as he built a great car by the looks of it and he should be proud of building it , but its not worth £3k it is an xr3i with turbo bits on it.
insurance is a big pain in the arse , you will only insure as an xr3i with a conversion which will make it more to insure than a genuine rs turbo , if it goes missing they will only give you xr3i money regardless of the worthless agreed value that you have , police pull you over its a story car they dont like these
look at all the trouble Y2KRS had selling his 3-door , everyone asking whats on the log book , in all rights this was the mintist 3 door you would find , did anyone buy it???
it always matters what is on the log book as this identifies the car as to what it is , an xr3i with turbo bits on , sorry to disagree with you guys but as i said before i have been there and done it and its more hassle than its worth!!
