I had the car for £600 but you can sell everything off of it that you don't need!
It had a decent exhaust and a few other mods that i sold off. I was left with engine, gearbox, turbo, loom, ecu, driveshafts, V5 etc all for £150.
Its the way to go really as you get everything you need and as you take it apart you can label everything up so you know how it should go back together.

TimmyK Where did you find such a gem?
Ebay :thumbup: Was a gamble to be honest, was £600 buy it now with front end damage, radiator was pushed against the engine but it still ran fine, I believe the chassis was slightly bent but can't be certain.... The guy couldn't be arsed to fix it so his loss my gain.
You may find that even buying a good un and selling off everything you don't need may work out in your favour?

Ill give that some thought cheers. Going to concentrate on sorting out rust issues and get interior sorted then i can do engine

Might be worth looking for a LSD box as well. I managed to find one for £150 without the driveshafts but only 33k on it, its mint! Like ya say though need to get the rest sorted first.
Have you thought about welding a cage in as well? might be worth doing to add strength.

Defently doing a cage safety devices for one for £350 just need to find a welder

Is that a hilman imp specific one for £350??? Thats a flippin bargain mate. I thought you would have to do one from scratch but for that price i wouldn't complain. I take it thats a weld in type?

TimmyK Its the half diamond I belive so not full cage.
But still, for that price!!!!
I have a mig welder at work and can do simple stuff but im guiessing the cage will have to be properly welded in by someone better :mellow:
