my dad said about doing that but insurance would probably be insane prices, may have a look about and see what they think would be good fun though giving most cars a run for their money

You want an old MG Metro lump for that, along with an LCB exhaust manifold You get the right 75bhp lump and the best 3.4 diff aswell.

Excellent motors for as long as the rust hold off.......
