my tuppence: you will
always have to spend money upgrading/fixing issues, so if you can get an honest example that is sound & cheap and then spend the money to fix it, at least you know how it
has been done rather than taking someone else's word it's been done.
e.g. if you were to buy the GLT for sale for £300, pay someone £300 to weld the arches and then pay another £400 sorting it out to your spec, you would have a car that's cost you £1k that has been sorted by you, to your spec.
A £1000 car will probably need the bushes/dampers/brakes/arches doing at some point anyway, but has cost you £700 more to start with
Assuming the base car isn't totally hanging, they can be upgraded and repaired easily and for not much cost, as long as you can swing a spanner
BTW I have no affiliation with the vendor, just using it as an example!!
