NEZZER Posted November 15, 2002 Posted November 15, 2002 A Westy SEi 2.0 zetec sounds like the car for me. About what could be the total costing?(? to ?) As i'm totally new to westfields!! I don't no the hiddens costs and pitfalls of the venture! Building it from a donor car with a standard engine and getting it passed the SVA firstly (before i beef it up).I'm mechanically adapt and now have the space to build (Yahoo). Quote
waynem Posted November 15, 2002 Posted November 15, 2002 Similar to me... Except replace the adept with inept.... Westfield reckon around £15k for a full new modular build... I'm aiming more for around £8k-9K using donor parts and sourcing engine/gearbox and other gubbins from elsewhere, as much as poss... If you can go cheaper, let me know how!!!!! Quote
Nick M Posted November 15, 2002 Posted November 15, 2002 Nezzer, At the risk of stating the bleedin' obvious, I'm not sure there's a donor car that would give you all the bits you need in one package. Westfield source the bits from a multitude of cars so just buy whichever bits you need along the way. The Westfield parts catalogue is a useful starting point. Cost depends very much on the spec of the car - if you want a light weight stripped out minimalist car then, with a standard engine and gearbox, GBP8-9K is probably doable. But if you want a heater, screen, weather gear, carpet, comfy seats, etc., etc., etc then these all add to the cost noticably ! GBP15K should see you with a very nice car, although don't expect too many toys to be included in that price. Quote
neo Posted November 15, 2002 Posted November 15, 2002 if any of you want a CVH complete with carbs,manifolds and all the bits bar a gearbox give me a shout,its cheap and will help you nearer your budget.and its only done 9K Quote
