« on: February 07, 2010, 04:00:03 PM »
Hi all

I've been after one for years havng grown up with 'bombers' (as we called them) its the perfect car for me

I'm looking at a budget of £500 ish and as early a model as possible, the otherhalf is a mechanic and want a project whilst he does up an old defender

Righto

My heart is set on giving a 126 a good home, i will be wanting to drive it regularly rather than look at it and i'm really looking forward to learning...
I've been doing a lot more reading and discussed this with t'other half

We've decided £1-1.5k is a better idea also a BIS may be more pratical for my requirements
You guys are experts compared to me, i'm looking on ebay and on general car websites, if you guys don't mind if i find a good example i'd like to ask peoples opinions regarding value for money, work to be done etc

Thanks again Rosie

 Â£500 is a good budget for a healthy project, 1-1.5 k should get you a very nice running - finished project especialy if you don't want the air cooled model.
