could someone please help me with if my budget for buying the car before doing anything on it is realistic or not

Hi James welcometo the club

You had a look at our classified section there seems to be a few projects for sale argue moment
Also you could post a thread in the "cars wanted" section

£600 is reasonable for a project. You should find something but hOw much work do you wanna do on it?
I know one for sale £290 car stripped, needs rear arches and a dash and it need loom wiring up, and eventually a respray, can pass on a number if you're interested

hi scott,
 
thanks, so if there are ones like that out there for 290 then i should get quite a good one for around 600 then. i want something that is going to keep me busy for the next few months but not too hard as i dont have tools like a welder etc. however if a rewally good one comes up i can sort a welder out.  8)

are there any pictures of this one?

thanks

It's been reduced to £200 now
