The 2.0 GT is a good base for a replica - it's 150 brake and has a few sports upgrades - I just bought an 06 in black for £2k. I was going to go the replica route but decided against it - I'm just going to lower it. It's nippy enough for me at the moment and gives some drivers a bit of a surprise when I leave them standing. Probably gonna de-badge the back too. Going for the undercover look. I'll post some photos when she is done. Good luck finding a car dude.
