yea seems that way of a saxo/106, my mates giving me a 5 door saxo vsx rolling shell for £50, i may aswell buy a cheap vts for £400 and reshell it into that, il then use that car as a run around too when im unbanned, i just need somewhere to keep a car atm as in the process of moving.
i rang dean about the blue vts on here, hes goin to wait till auction ends on ebay first, but il then get back in touch with him if it doesnt go
those civic coupe's are immensly slow for what they are but handle well, ive drove a d16z6 coupe before and wasnt impressed compared to my old b16

because alot of vts are abused pal and rust and are cheap, plus my insurance is cheaper on a 1.5d, this 5 doors a 03 and is mint, plus a 130bhp 5 door would be a bit of a sleeper!, 5door weighs less than a vts believe it or not

Surely for a hillclimb car it wouldn't matter about bodywork? Plus if it is abused then surely all the parts you need from the VTS will be abused too!? e.g. engine/box/suspension etc. As for insuring it as a standard 1.5d on the road, that's just plain silly mate!

been done for many years though mate, alot easier converting a car imo than fixing up something, get to check everything out then and start from fresh, i mean mint as in rust wise bud, alot of older saxos rust like crazy and this hasnt got any

Metro is a good shout. my mate loves them. i really wanted to buy his old one with a lotus elise engine, but i didnt have the money at the time. drove it a few times, went really well.

then put throttle bodies and ditch the vvc in favour of standard arrangement but with better cams and emerald or similar then should see about 200bhp probably cost a tad more than the budget tho lol
