Ahmm, speed... I know this might be your 1st project car but after 21 pages of suggestions and advise, IMHO you are making the same mistake that so many of us have made so often... NO Focus... NO Project Planning... and then WASTING plenty $$$ buying (and then selling) parts that may never be used... until EVERYTHING is abandoned... until NEXT time!

I've done that more than once over the years... with the same result.
That's why right now I'm buying parts and chasing info for my Evo 6 Solodex Project consistently for over THREE years.

You might be better off taking a step away from everything to sort out the following:
WHAT model do you REALLY want to own and drive...

IMHO it's a waste of time investing in your 2nd choice just because it's available.

WHAT your application (use) will be... Street... Drags... Solodex... Mixed use (most expensive option of all.)
How big your BUDGET is... and will a medium size BANK LOAN speed up the Project.

Save time by saving $$$ while you "fine tune" the plan.

After all that... MAKE A PLAN!... Use a spread-sheet... Or better yet, get an Auto Restoration program (US $25-$45) to chart your progress. Trust me, ONE bad "buy" will cost twice that!
I can post a few 'urls' for Trial use for you to decide if you want.

Then... STICK TO THE PLAN!

Well Said

[Ronaldo95163]

Finding a 120y, 1200 and especially a 1600 in good condition is very hard in trinidad. The best option IMHO is to go with a box lancer if you really want to change shells

[Sanctifier]

^ ^ ^ IMHO hybrids seldom make successful projects. Usually you finish it... and sell soon for much less than you should.
It's seldom easy to live with... or as reliable as it should be.. so you don't keep it long.

Decide WHAT you need... Find a model that you LOVE... with some parts & upgrade availability... get a LOAN...
Remember... this will possibly take A COUPLE YEARS to finish properly.
Then MAKE A PLAN... & STICK TO IT!

[Ronaldo95163]

Cool. So whats a good shell you can get in good condition to fit his CA in?

Cool. So whats a good shell you can get in good condition to fit his CA in?

^ ^ ^ Find a model that you LOVE... I don't know about most 2nrs but I won't commit to a Project just because an engine is available. Not even for the great 4G63! It must have a reasonably straight, "low rust" shell to make the $$$ investment worthwhile.

I would pick a locally available car... with OEM model & engine upgrade potential and some local (& plenty foreign) parts availability. Choose one that has enough potential for handling, braking and acceleration. One that you MUST keep because it's in your blood. Sounds silly... but that way you spend LESS $$$... enjoy your toy MORE when it's finished... and get better resale value for an upgraded "high end" OEM model, if needed.

There are a few exceptions. Some hybrids are successful... IF you PLAN properly.

I have a PLAN for a hybrid rwd Lancer GSR... and trust me... it doesn't often get more complex than that one will become!
BTW I'll keep the hydrid GSR (see page 19) long after I sell my daily driver, "Project Evo 6 TME Clone."

70,000 is to much fuh me rite nw jus lookin for a nice shell

[trinibuggy]

[MG Man]

[trinibuggy]

somehow I doubt he will..........

lol lets hope he doesn't.

[bigchief3679]

speed, you ever realise just how many box lancer projects pass thru tuner classifeids on a monthly or yearly basis? these are either incomplete, never started, or completed way above budget but most end up being sold. many onlookers think that restoring an old car or a fantasy project is easy but it really isn't what it's cracked up to be, learn from your mistakes and those of others and move on. fixin' ole car is not for everybody.

that said, i may be contradicting my logic by telling you that there is a yellow escort shell at a garage in aranguez, a stone's throw away from the bumper repair shop. been there a while.

[nigie]

how much u want 4 your shell speed?

[trini mk5]

Money wasted IMHO,U made the mistake most trini(doh know about the rest of the world)tuners made..jus drop in a engine and eh check to see if d body and suspension in order..well u will know better next time.

Thats why i stayed with FORD and not jump on the sr20 boat like everybody was telling me to be "fast" Enough potential with the pinto.
As big chief said ole car project is not for everybody, especially one thats english where people in trini have no desire to deal with importing parts etc.
I suggest speed that yuh cut yuh loses and do a b13/14, cb3 lancer,ae92 corolla project pr sumting cus them cyah doh have rust

[speed]

i more like rwd cars
