I wonder how much it would cost, to turn this into this...

Into this;




I've always wanted either a rally or touring car. Now, the cheapest 206 WRC i found was 200,000 euros... The 1999 206 in the clarion sponsored white colour, is one of my favourite cars ever

So, seeing as you can find a 206 on autotrader for £400, i was wondering how much a convert would cost? Firstly, how much a full conversion, in terms of steering, engine, shocks, brakes etc, and secondly, a cosmetic conversion, maybe just the interior and exterior....

Hmmmm i think i need to partake in the lottery....

I have a friend that could do the vinyl!

To do a full conversion would probably cost more than buying a used real one, they don't tend to sell them for profit. A good cosmetic job would be less than £10,000 depending on the materials used for any bodywork changes and work needed if you go for a bare metal respray.

Just remember the real ones are road legal because they have to be to meet various regulations so buying a real one means you can legally drive it on the road, if you can get insurance and suitable ear protection

You need to start with a 206GT (not GTi) which already has the body kit, or Forsythe, as its also known.

Having a rally car for the road would be fun!

However, I feel that unless you would be happy with just a stbox 206 in a cheap body kit, a decent Scooby or Evo would work out much cheaper.

Alternatively, how much fun would it be to have a car that goes like a WRC pug but looks loke a bog standard 206!

[paulmoonraker]

Driving a full bore rally car round the roads would be fun for about a day.

Buy a Scooby or an Evo and be done with. You can buy stickers for peanuts on ebay if that's your thing.

Scooby or evo is a big bland isnt it? I mean, every man and his burberry cap have one.

Cosmetically I'd say it's not too difficult. However the 4WD conversion may cost you a bit...

[carl carlson]

16500 Euro for this one

Cheaper than 200,000

Go on, do the cosmetic only conversion. It really will make my year!

[wackojacko]

Works Rally teams that build and pre develop cars before they even touch tarmac or gravel spend Millions, people do make road going rally rockets though there is a guy with a MK6 Fiesta on PH that runs cosworth running gear and has 600+ bhp.


Remember seeing it in Fast Ford mag a year or 2 ago.



Probably 50-60K depending on what spec you choose.

I think it would be much more entertaining to buy the rally car and make it look like the silver one.

[soad]

In short - would cost a fortune, has to have the look plus go too.

You can do it cheaply - this guy did a decent job with his 6R4 replica:



If only the real ones were 5 doors, much more practical.

[Deranged Granny]

Nothing at all! I gave a lift to someone that claimed that his bog standard 1.6 206 was a veritable rally car, with a rally car chassis. Right.

Naa it isn't, the give away is the radio aerial, the proper 6r4 never had a stereo, it's just a good replica
