Basically, I'm not setting a budget, I'm just curbing my spending as much as possible.
I'm allowing for about a grand for the engine itself, a couple hundred for extra engine bits....(loom, ecu, etc)
I have a friend doing me an ally fuel tank for dirt cheap,
I'm yet to decide between doing the respray myself (i have access to a spray booth), or getting mates rates by the pros...
The main part i'm still unsure about, is what i'm hoping i can bribe Joe with, tea, coffee, money, help etc for

Fibreglass flip front to be got, metro turbo brakes, radiator from where-ever, roll cage, suspension.
Few other bits, and i think thats the main bits done!
Overall, im hoping to spend less than £4k if possible.
sorry for thread jacking Joe!
