Good luck with the new venture Eddie. My take on the choice of donor might be slightly different from most, in that I want my cars to be reliable, practical, cheap to run, and easy to fix.
When looking for a potential donor, I'd look for a donor range which also includes at least one diesel engine, and also allows both manual and automatic gearboxes. (Not necessarily a diesel automatic, although this is my ideal option.) And one argument against the use of Japanese cars is the availability of aftermarket tuning parts. Given the above, how about going a little less left-field and looking at Golfs or similar? Plenty of choice over the whole range of donors there. Excellent diesels and petrols, choice of automatic and even tiptronic boxes, plenty of tuning bits and chipping services available. And as far as I know, the only other competitor for kit bits is Tiger for the front suspension and a few seven copies for the radiators. Just kicking ideas around, TonyV. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
