I'm the same spud, won't settle till it's finished. Anyway, change of heart. I've slept on it, and the new reg doesn't make too much sense, I reckon it's going to go from a £5k build to a £8-£9k build, and there's just no point. I'd much rather have a nice car with a few nice extras on than a bottom of the range 10 plate.
I'm gonna take the initial advice I was given by you guys at saturn. Install a CVH engine from donor, then if it unfortunately meets a sad demise after a couple of months I'll fit a zetec.
Also changed my mind about throttle bodies/ECU. I reckon I can bag a new engine with megajolt and bike carbs producing 170bhp for about £1200. Or I can have a new engine with fuel injection producing 170bhp for about £2700. Ermmmmm, let me think!!!
