here's some pics

just wanna see what others get

do you have one with original engine, what do you get for mpg??

is it worth to rebuild the engine if i am keeping the standard one. I want best fuel economy i can get but wan to keep orignal, any sugestions

think i will keep it standard and if i have real issues i will change what is needed as i am quite against selling! thank you for all your help will probably be back on asking more questions!:)

how much mpg do u guys get

they only did 52mph new./ I think you would need an overdrive to do 60mph

r u talking about the new petrol

i am only 14 but have grown up with cars which explains your query.mine is 1977 so is 2.25 petrol so 10mpg and like 40 mph. The car has been in my family for bit now so would look to keep it but am also looking at first car options and i think my decision is upgrading to the 2.5 petrol or 200tdi...

would adding the 200tdi ruin its authenticity

i am definitely thinking i will restore it to its "former glory" My only problem is whether i ad the 200tdi. IT seems many have done this and it makes it much more usable but i am worried that it could ruin the authenticity of the car

am refurbishing a series 3 and was thinking about replacing axles engine, etc however i am now thinking that a better idea would be to buy a simple first car and restore it as a classic any opinions would be great.

the idea was a first car but i do share your point anhyy other opinions or what you did would be great

I am quite knew to the hole refurbishing show but have been doing my 1977 series 3 for a bit and I have several questions. Firstly i am wondering wheather i should get a new galvanised chassis? Next is the engine side of things. I have an old range rover as a doner car which i think i will use...
