David, where in the north east are you located?
I am building my car in a single garage at the moment and decided to go down the buy parts separately route. I managed to pick up the following in one go for £125:
Engine
Gearbox
Driveshafts
Diff
Front hubs
Front callipers
Rear hubs
Rear drums
I then managed to pick up a complete sierra column the other week for £12.07. So the bargains are out there.
I was going to be going down the CVH engine route as I got it chucked in with my donor parts, but it was going to prove too costly to get running again as it required a lot of work. I managed to pick up a 94 1.8 zetec engine with 70,000 miles for £40 from someone local to me. It is a known runner as he was going to be putting it into his car.
So if you are local to me then feel free to come round and have a look at my build as it sounds as if you will be going down a similar route to me.
