Hi all,

I have held off doing a build thread as it's going to take a while but i'm looking for more advice and getting some more interest so thought I would start one.
Here is the shell I am starting with

It is a 1992 Japanese import with around 60,000 miles on it, the shell is in great condition and has zero rust on it which is a winner for the UK (we like to salt our roads and it eats cars)
 
So to start with I removed everything from the shell, and I mean everything down to fuel lines, brake lines, abs, wiring loom the lot is all out and nicely labelled and boxed up

rather than blabber on i'll let the pictures do the talking

And here is the engine I managed to get for £250

and a quick test fit of the engine, now need to remove the subframe and cut it to pieces so I can get the engine as low and as far back as possible to help weight distribution :)
