That, and I can almost 100% guarantee every bolt on the ones on PH will be rusted solid

£350 for a rad on an early car relies very heavily on DIY if you ask me.

the list i put up there is what i would do not what you have to do..

the vx is actually a pretty reliable car anyway as there isnt really much to go wrong with it.

i did understand it, just though it was comical how you made a massive list of things to do to a used standard car.

ah right

i suppose you could just replace as they wore out and still be happy enough but since ive been through that stage and found what works best and seen the difference it makes to me id just get it all done and not worry for a year... maybe lol

i dont see why not, it depends how you look at it. sat on the drive its cost me £28k (inc car) to build and there are very very few s/c's as highly modified as mine atm.

That's an obscene amount of money for what you've ended up with.

Been thinking of getting one of these next. I'd probably get the N/A with turbo spec exterior as not to bothered about power, fancy something N/A and raw that can be chucked around some bends.
