Hmmm a bit of cross posting here

Welcome both of you

Richie, hatchbacks are hard to find. If you want a project car, I'm assuming you mean rebuild from scratch car, your best bet is getting one from Denmark.

Thanks Mux.

Yeah, I'm looking for a car with a good body, doesn't matter if the engine is on it's last legs. I would like to swap it for a 20v blacktop.
I'll be keeping my eyes on the for sale forum. I saw that there where some for sale a couple of weeks back.

Welcome, don't wanna salt your game, but do you have a clue how much money and time your "project" hatchback is going to cost? swapping for an 20v blacktop is realy cool, but unless you got a very filled wallet, your going to be spending that money elsewhere probably.

Welcome! Sounds like a nice project - lets hear some more...

BUT: Hatches are hard to come by exept in DK. Good ones are hard to come by in DK and the prices are increasing

[NoHachi]

Good luck finding a reasonably priced hachi with a sound shell. Engines are plentifull and a breeze to swap, so you won't find many ditched cars because their engine died.
I figure it will cost you at least 3000E for a car with a sound shell, with prices now quickly rising to the 4000 mark.

Hey there,

hmmz good luck indeed

seen the blacktop conversion in a TE71 from a friend of mine and the TE71 has a slightly larger engine space and if you don't want to cut or hammer the firewall it will cost you alot to go aftermarket.

I want a blacktop myself but i also talked to alot of people if you do it for the bhp you can better tune up a 4age 16v caus for the cost of a blacktop you can build a 4age 16v wsith over 200 bhp

[Jan Pedersen]

Its very hard getting more than ~185 hp on a 4AGE and it will cost more than a Blacktop!

Senna, I know how much money and time will be involved in a project like this. It's probably going to be in the 5 figure area no doubt.
That isn't the problem, the problem is finding a good "base" car to start with.
