:censored:

I've probably just brought a ninety C-REG with a 200tdi, chassis needs work but I'm ok with that as body and bulkhead is good it's a van hard top. but I was thinking of making it a BOWLER OR TOMCAT, WHAT IS INVOLVED IN THIS? and how much would I get for the one piece doors and the rest of the body and what do I do with current chassis? front is solid but rear half needs replaced?

PS any idea's on tomcat body cost's? this would be done on a budget so second-hand parts.
any help would be great thanks

I don't think the words Bowler or Tomcat are really compatible with the word budget

let me think about this.

you want to take a vehicle with a suspect chassis and a good body works and bulkhead.

then get rid of the 2 good parts and build it into a space frame on a ropey chassis ?

your not making any sense !

So you want a C reg 200 tdi Bowler with a ropey chassis?
You are talking about the Bowler EXR right? I think the tdi might be a little underpowered.

Here is the spec for a tomcat type build. Might give you an idea of how to approach this.

I love early 90’s....you can't cut up a nice early 90, repair it to standard and sell or just sell buy a good chassise'd and engined Disco with rubbish body and then fit one of these 100 Challenge/Trialer Spaceframe

Just playing with the idea...best of luck
