Alreet boys n toys.
Was in coversation with the westmids boys today at the bodyshop. And we have made the decision to make a clio hybrid, stripped to too fcuk exactly like the nana but not as good probebly.
Anyway, i have someone offering me a valver for 550, needs alot of mechanical work [except engine, thats pukka cuz it hasnt been in the car, been under a sheet for 6 mths, so anyone want a 1.8 16v engine i may have one soon], Shall i go for this one or look out for a more mechanically stable valver. Were gonna get the engine from Hillpower and build it ourselves, unless a better willy engine comes up for sale somewhere else. Everything on it will be for racing, interior will be stripped til only 1 carbon fibre seat left, heaters removed, everything heavy. And we know some company here in tamworth that can make us a carbon bonnet and boot apparently. May see if we can get front wings done also.
Just wanna know is it all worth it? It wont ever be going on the road, and when i bring it to wc meets it will be on a trailer, so we wont ever use the car for daily use or weekend fun. The lads are unsure about the valver they want a mk1 saxo or nova, and this is NOT GONNA HAPPEN! So i need some pos comment from fello wc ppl to show to them.
If this happens it will be finished in 6 months as we have 3 men per job being done except engine were we will all be chipping in. We all got the money on standby.
I really need to convince the lads its a good idea as some have kids and 1 has one on the way and they dont like throwing money away.
Let me know what you think lads n gals.
