why is a smaller 1st gen almost as much as a 3rd gen?

[oldone]

cos there was so much uneeded c..(sorry) bits on the car,the overall length and width is smaller but there is so much old school s.....on it,remember its all steel ..

[g11ary]

I can believe it, but its a supprise, If I look under the bonnet I can climb in there, and the 3 rd gen you cant move. And its so small next to it. So tune a 3rd gen as opposed to a 1st for same gains.

... how much does a third gen REALLY weigh then ?

[oldone]

With the 1 st gen...you can really get you imagination take the road...put the motor and gearbox where you want to.and work around that,the suspension work is easier cos there is more room and more "meat" to work with,its more robust ?you can cut and weld,scupltor etc.and its more SEXY
