    sounds like something to muck around with mate. see how close to 250-300 you can push them and id say your on a winner (no rust works for me)

    check that it realyl doesnt have rust - look in the usual places. look closely around the windscreens, and in ever nook and cranny of the boot including under the top (bottom of the parcel tray)

    goodluck;

    Oh I didn't reply to the gear issue. Not quite sure, Auto's I know hardly anything about, but second hand n/a auto boxes aren't that hard to come across. You may even want to all consider a 5 speed conversion.

    sounds like a good starting point....just a note though, they are an RB30e which means they are a 3 litre...the 202's were a 3.3 litre....just being my pesky self...

    having no reverse i asume its auto, if its a manual and has no reverse there could be some gremlins there. the only way to have an unlisenced project car is to do it properly, you will have to do a proper re-build of you will never make it over the pits. give us a msg on the mobile this w/end can have a look at it with you if you want.

    ill put more of the details about plans and shit up when i get the car but for now am thinking of tiger mica as the colour but as much as i hate it white might be the go because as some one said it never goes out of fasion. not sure whether the to the rb or put in a 308 or other. wont be turbod or charged (too pricey) the main focus is getting it running mint and looking mint so that we can get some money back for it and prehaps do another car with more budget. i forgot to mention that me and 4 mates are doing this together. it has to be sold to avoid ownership hassles. who gets the first drive however is going to be very dificult to determine....
