Hi there again kyle.
I was lucky for the price i got my buggy(£800- just the kit not touched!), Keep an eye out on here, in kit car magazines and e-bay but as someone said on here, seeing them on ebay is like seeing the pope drive a harley davidson! It can happen but is quite a rarity. As for the engine option get a good 1275, SVA it, or IVA as it will become, and then if you aren't happy with the performance stick in a wopping 1380 or somethin, or go over the top and build a bike engine one! They have serious track mashing performance! But put it this way, with a slightly tweeked 1275 in it will be accelerating with a 0-60 time of around 7 seconds which is hot hatch teratory. It depends if you want to have it as a serious offroader or a track car or both! You have to keep an eye out for minis as well, I got a mini 1000 for £100 from a friend of a friend of my uncle to be presice :lol: ! And then made roughly £800-£900 off bits i didn't need, that mini was a gold mine! then i swapped a greenhouse for an old mini! You can pick up some rediculous deals!
God i need to refrain from writing so much! its like i've written a bloody essay!
