I'll bet some rabid Morris enthusiast would offer you that for a single hubcap! (wink, wink) Jim-Bob, I like your thinking, although I'd lean towards a turbo DSI Ecotec, to get economy and still appease my inner hoon.

While musclecar guys may choose to put LS1's and new Hemi's in their older Camaros or Mopars, I want to do it differently. I want to build a practical, fuel efficient economy car using the shell of an older one with all the mechanicals of a newer one. It would yield a very usable car that could be serviced with common parts, but with the coolness of the older car's shell. Probably the best drivetrain would be a VW TDI with a manual trans as it offers the best mix of fuel efficiency and performance while also offering god reliability. However, my heart is set on a Trabant when I finally go through with this, which will be when money falls from the sky, or I am given a complete Trabant to build from...

Too bad these are priced too high for LeMons. You’ve got to love the classic Issigonis design. Too bad these are priced too high for LeMons.
