Well my build is approach kick off. Just been sourcing tools, equipments etc.. (Still need a decent mig though)
Found donor parts from a Sierra and chassis steel (thanks to Wazac), as well as wishbones and uprights from phil@talon.

I am still totally oblivious for engine choice though. Really want a turbo lump but being on a budget its a bit tight. I'm looking for a engine and box around the £500 mark, was hoping to get a non runner as i will refurbish anyways so head gasket blown or bottom end bearing failure would be fine.

Ive been offered a 1.8t Vag engine for next to nothing but matching with a type 9 maybe a challenge. Maybe with a DIY bell housing

Love the idea of a 200sx lump like kev but they appear to be scarce at the moment.

So before i crack the whip with chassis building am i best to find and engine first?

Also anyone got any ideas what engines are out there?

Thanks guys
