Hi Rob yeah getting into it now just time is a problem as work and heat during the week and I only get Saturdays as Sundays is family day .

Tho the wife is going back to study again soon

Running gear I am looking at sierra so building it to that I have got a sierra in mind the one that was in the floods for the diff and front and rear hubs etc and gear box but the engine I am thinking a Toyota 4age or similar tho I did come across a Volvo v8 that was fairly new but £800 I want an engine that can tune to around the 200hp mark

No one bettered the crate price to Thailand for £530 door to door. Are you going for a mainland donor?

Yeah a Thai friend managed to get that flood damage car down from £600 to £200 so I am going for that and do a full refurb on the required parts just waiting to get the car here.
