Pomme question: is it legit to rip the back seats out of a wagon (e30 ideally), weld the doors up and swap glass for metal to build a van, or is that a no-go? 

Cheers

Sadly not! The guy coming to look at my Renault never showed, and I don't have space/finances/a patient enough partner to have more than one toy car at a time! 

Let's see if my temperamental French car sells this week... Then I can get the Jag to sit next to the landy leaking oil together! 

You're a lunatic of the highest order and for that I commend you! And now I'm looking at that xj in gisborne on trademe longingly... 

This is pure engineering porn! Apologies if I've missed it, but I assume the plan is to build a replica at some point? Or just become the world leader in early bugatti engine castings? 

Bonnet mount ftw!

Anything else you want to add: Just moved over from the UK, hence the modern. Will be looking to get a classic mini at some point after xmas hopefully (anyone want to sell one cheap?). If anyone local has a project they don't mind letting a semi-newbie give them a hand on then i make a decent cup of tea!
