The Reshell or Repair balance point shifts

It’s all change at The Manchester College this month in PPC. After gathering all the parts bar a rear three-quarter panel to repair his wrecked Ur quattro, PPC editor Will Holman changed his mind. Is this because, deep down, he’s a girl? ‘No,’ says Will. It’s because a good shell became available 30 miles away from me and the only rear three- quarter panel I could find was in Cork, southern Ireland.’

We all love the classics but in recent years some of them have been "re-born", the 3 main ones here are the BMW MINI, VW Beetle and the Fiat 500.

Last year I used (abused?) a Fiat Seicento sporting. It was standard except for a lot of interior stripping. It did well for a £300 54bhp car, a great hoot to drive but it wasn't enough to even get in the top 15 finishing places.

Looking forward to this years challenge I looked up my options. I didn't look far as the value of a Seicento was still only about £500, even with 10 months MOT, and it weighs close to nothing so a good starting point for a build.

When trying to decide what to do with it, my brother offered me a Honda VTR1000 1000cc bike engine for £300 including "all the bits to make it run". I've since discovered what he meant was "most of the bits to make it run"...
