Ive got a thing about really really really wanting a mk2 180.
My mk1 is mechanically spot on, just needs a bit of paint on some plastics where I have pressure washed the laquer of and it will be as good as you will find on a car of this age.
Ive spent the last 8 years making a lotus 7 rep from scratch. ie bought the steel in 6 meter lengths and made it. Now its finished I have no interest in puting it on the road. One is the cost of around a grand just to have it tested and registered and two I have two lads and will only get the odd weekend out in it like I did my bikes. I also hate bugs So not ideal being open toped
I need a new project and want to charge / engine swap a 180.
Am I mad to sell it or both at a HUGE loss just to get the same car I allready have in a posh frock and a newer reg ????????????????????????????
What do you lot think ?
Ps the wife hates it and says she wont go out in it and thinks the idea of me getting rid is great if she aslo gets as newer runabout out of it aswell.
From this (1 days work)
To this 8 years on
