which would be worth more?which would you have?

[moggie]

a properly built 350/400bhp m50 turbo in a sport,
an s54 converted sport?
what do we think.

[andyp]

if you are doing it for value I would leave it standard, converting it will lose you money

[ajay]

+1.! Both are capable of giving you a thrill every time u drive it but you would be a lucky man to make a profit on either. If your going to do one, do it because you want it..!

[polsta]

might not be the case for all, but all you have to do is look on ebay- most e30s ive seen on ebay etc with turbos and engine conversions for even reasonable ish money (compared to the cost to build) hang around for sale for a ages with a few price drops, where as decent standard cars priced right, do not

[ajay]

Thats because most are poor examples, corners cut or un finished turds! On the other hand there have been a few zoners modified cars ,(nice examples) that have sold with no problems at all. But a good conversion comes at a high price thus nigh on impossible to make a profit unless u cut corners and or are lucky.

Standard sport would be worth more to the general public I reckon.

Modified cars will only attract a certain market.

Hard to make a profit if at all on a modified car .

S54 all day long. M50 engines are scrap
