I reckon an old biddy stylee Proton (like the first ones that came over here) with Mitsubishi Evo running gear would be well cool (and it'd kinda keep it in the family with them being based on Mitsi's in the first place). Totally hilarious to watch it kick the asses of all the barry boys in their paxo's ;D

if i was not to do the reno prodject i will probably get an imp as the insurance is cheap
the reno would be for the fun of building and learning and one day hopefully be road legal

Yep, I'm an Imp Club member as well, although I don't know of any Imps for sale locally at the moment. If you like the minute I see any interesting Imps I'll be in touch! I certainly can't afford another Imp at the moment, especially since mine is currently in bits in the garage due to the engine being a bit knackered (which is annoying, as it's my bloody daily driver, so I'm having to use public transport at the moment, which around here is as pleasant and convenient as an early-morning appointment with the Spanish Inquisition!)  |

that sounds good to me  I'm about to start an hgv mechanic aprentiship so money should be quiet sweet most of the imps for sale near me are a bit over priced there was a sport for sale last week for £800 without t&t although there has been bargains (missed oportunites) in the past mainly motorsport prept |

If it was in good condition and would easily re-MOT then a sport at £800 is probably reasonable, but I know what you mean, for a project that's off the road and not as tidy you'd be looking for something a bit cheaper, but a good, road legal Imp is hard to find for under a grand these days I've found.

i know what you meen about how hard it is to find road legal imps for under a grand
if i could get the car back id have bidded for that dr evil imp on ebay last week last week but it was to far away
on the reno front theres a fairly solid 18 for sale in the local free ads it might be a better base if the 9 is a total basket case

All that one needs is a hefty thwack with the lowering stick - the rest of the car looks great as it is |

BUT, have you ever seen an early 80's Ren without rampant tin-worm?! If I was getting a cheap Renault of that era I'd bank on some serious welding, and then painting it properly (unlike ze French who seemed to just breeze past it with an aerosol!  ) It'll be a really cool project though, whatever Ren you go for!! ;D |

i had a quick look of a mates i think it might still have an mot not sure though
on the subject of old renults i think i seen a 17 coupe on a drive way near by next time i pass i'll have a proper look
