Don't do it mate. I won a toy acclaim in a colouring competition back in 1982, the wheels moved when you pressed the opposing door mirror in. Not very safe.<br>

Gearbox would die very quickly I think. Unless its Mint and really cheap, I'd run a mile.<br>
<br>
I keep mentioning Nick's 2.7 Alpina engine to you but you don't bite! I hear someone is grabbing the omega from him this weekend.<br>

Honda Ballade

with a Triumph badge on. Absolute waste of road space.<br>
<br>
A dolly 1300, many of which are virtually free...is a far nicer car in every way.<br>
