Unless you are very lucky, I cant see you building a classic scooby from bare shell and being quids in.

Engine, gearbox, diff, £1500-£2000 most likely, maybe more.

Shell, £100-£500, maybe more

Not to mention things like the clutch, wheels, tyres, and all the other bits that may not be on the shell you buy. £800-£>>>>

You can pick up a decent scooby whole for about 3k,

Then there is the resale value of a q plate to consider.

Hope this helps.

I'm pretty sure there was an RA rolling shell for sale on Snet

[Johnny50]

Bit pricey...but here it is.

Apologies for not being a clicky..

You can pick up an early WRX for £3k now days!!

How about finding one with a blown engine for mucho cheap & doing the rebuild yourself?? I dont think a bare shell build would be financially viable if your trying to get one cheap!!

How about this

we had same problem wanted a scoob but between buying it and the insurance we were struggling so we bought the 2 litre sport scoob which has been done up as wrc rally car, looks good, sounds good and turns a lot of heads. Insurance isnt too bad but this is our first step before getting bigger one next year but at the moment im over the moon and know you only go faster (unless u get banned lol)

just another option you could look into cause they arnt that expensive at the moment and then u have shell when finished?

well thanks to Gumball. autosportif sell brand new 2 door shells primered for £1000 and on the link dan posted theres a sport for £1175. so that would be the cheapest 2door scoob and more than likely the only non turbo 2dr

[lescazscoob]

that sounds great and insurance wont be too bad either. you could do something really mad and different from everyone else!

mind keep an eye on for sale forum cause theres great stuff on there i know have spent fortune this week on wheels, afterburner rear lights, eibach springs and new shocks got the lot 4 £250!!!

will cost £150 for fitting and geometry check at falkland perfomance. all in all not bad eh pays to look about

[dan_jess]

Hey 5cooby, i was meaning the green turbo rolling shell on the clicky i sent

[5cooby]

yeah i had a look at that, but im gonna try and get that accident damaged sport and get everything on the 2door shell from autosportif cheers mate

[dan_jess]

Nice 1 bud

Good luck

[paddy247]

good luck,

if you get it sorted, maybe you can post pics of your progress,

[5cooby]

will do

I'm sure there's plenty of mechanical gods on here that would love to get their hands dirty on a project like that if you ever need help.

If you do go for it keep a good blog of your progress and get some google ads down the side. Might make a bit of cash for it, you never know.

[5cooby]

will do cheers mate
