does anyone know what kind of price i would be looking at for a pukka 3251 sport m-tech 2 with a shagged engine or no engine, for a shell change, and whether they do come up, cus ive only seen really gor sport cars with decent engines so it obviously pushes the price up cus i dont want the engine. any info much appreciated

it might be hard finding one, as if they dont keep the engine well maintained they're not likely to keep the body well maintained either.

Probably better looking for a mint conition bongo spec 316 shell, and drop your good running gear into it.
Then find what parts from the Tech 2 series to bring it up to sport specifications , though could add some tweeks on the way like polybushes and such winkeye

yeah i was thinking that but then the thing is there is lots of suff then to also buy on top, whereas if i was lucky enough to find a decent sport i would have everyting there and it would prob work out cheaper i think

chances of finding a sport that doesnt need any body work are slim, so wont necessarily work out cheaper by any means
