i was lucky enought to come across a engine for a 1er with f20 box cos a mate crashed his redtop and engine was undamaged but engine's come up loads everywhere ie here , ebay

[Rob]

[Spudly]

Depends who you are and what bits come your way at the time, ive seen £1500 XE novas (christians sexy calypso red GTE) and ive seen £500 XE's aswell, i know robs engine, box, shafts, loom tank everything came on a pre converted (rotten) nova he acquired from a certain mr Smith and swapped all the good bits from the babba shell into a sexy arden blue twelve door shell to create his sexy blue loon (which he still needs to bloody well finish :p)

[Rob]

[Spudly]

[blue_peg_16v]

did someone mention food and beer count me in lol

[Bubba]

i was told about £1k all in.

ive had enough bbq this week :p

[bmw156]

i would go closer to 1k tbh, with all the small bits, faffing about etc.

but it depends how much/quickly you want it, and if you get any proper bargins.

and if your new parts or used lol.

[Paul]

£500.

[Plug]

as said i reckon £500 could do it but thats if you get bargains.

Best bet would be to buy a donor car this is what my mate did for his astra. calibra redtop £300 with mot and tax lol
