4 - keep the stuff, save for travelling, get the bug out the way, then buy a cheap KA and do it for track
searching is fruitful | I'm a sponge not a mechanic | please do try that if stuck with a Puma problem whilst waiting for a reply | For the Puma fan this read 'The Inside Story Book' is very nice to own sometimes still seen for sale

Track Ka!
But how much of what you have would be suitable?
What engine would you use?
I had considered this, also bear in mind that you probably don't want more than 15" wheels on a Ka, ideally 14"s unless you are going for SportKa suspension, which means rack limiters and a reduced turning circle.

as long as it has a good shell, prefer to be running. but the less the better defo under 600 as it would be getting thrashed and ripped apart!

I'd go for option 2.
You'd need to spend so much time and effort on a Ka to give it decent performance- the engines are just rubbish IMO... The bits you've got will only slow it down further...
A Pug 106 Rallye on the other hand...sweet handling and tuning parts are plentiful and cheap
Who cares if bits fall off cos it's a Peugeot, it'll save you even more weight...
