Hi,
Thought I would post on here for some advice regarding a project I am considering. I have a crash-damaged 98R cinq sporting sitting on my drive and it's going to cost at least £1500 to fix it - so that isn't an option. So here's what I'm thinking about....
I can get my hands on a K-reg Cinq SX for very little money (possibly free). The car is in good condition, although it needs a set of shocks on the back. I'm wondering about the possibility of transplanting the running gear from the sporting into the SX. Engine, gearbox, weheels, shocks, fuel tank - everything.
I know it's gonna be a bit of work, but I really can't bear to see what was a brilliant sporting get torn apart for spares and ending up with only a couple of hundred quid in my pocket, and a bare body shell on my drive! And anyway, I want something to do with my time at the weekends, so it'll be a nice project and keep me out of my local.
So, anyone tried this before or know of any obvious problems I might have?
Thanks,
Tony
