I'm looking at rwd and light weight. the engine will go in as standard as poss to start with (225bhp) this has been on my mind after seeing this mk1 escort i867.photobucket.com/albums/ab239/711tattoo/curse word/c8.jpg[/IMG] i867.photobucket.com/albums/ab239/711tattoo/curse word/c9.jpg[/IMG] i867.photobucket.com/albums/ab239/711tattoo/curse word/c10.jpg[/IMG] i867.photobucket.com/albums/ab239/711tattoo/curse word/c11-1.jpg[/IMG] love the sound of a 5 pot heres a few pics of cars i have in mind/like (plus i know you lot love pictures ;D i867.photobucket.com/albums/ab239/711tattoo/curse word/c2.jpg[/IMG] i867.photobucket.com/albums/ab239/711tattoo/curse word/c3.jpg[/IMG] i867.photobucket.com/albums/ab239/711tattoo/curse word/c6.jpg[/IMG] i867.photobucket.com/albums/ab239/711tattoo/curse word/c7.jpg[/IMG] i867.photobucket.com/albums/ab239/711tattoo/curse word/c5.jpg[/IMG] ive put the mk1/2 escorts there because i like them but i think with scene tax there way out of my pocket. i would say a dolly sprint would be cool, lets have your ideas

	The Dolomite seems like a good choice along with a Viva or even a Herald?

	personally i'd decide on a budget then scan ebay/gumtree/autotrader etc etc for a suitable vehicle, you often find stuff you'd never have thought of otherwise.
	Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

	be worth looking for something easy to get through BIVA unlerss you start with a car with good enough running gear to coipe with that engine with no mods and a bay big enough to avoid modding the bulkhead.

	Can't do lightweight - unless you strip the bejeezus outta it - but E28 5 series - will cope with the power n torque and then some. Turn up the boost later and off you go....... borderline on coping - triumph Mk1 saloons....... always wanted one with a serious modern power unit in it. Dolly is a good idea - if you can get the LSD from a real sprint - you'll be OK with driveline too.
	Back from the dead..... kind of
