I've got plenty of time to do mine, but need to keep it running as my driveway is in use and only one car wide.

Should be somewhere like in the summer...............

Might be easier to start from scratch with a stand alone ECU like Megasquirt?
Or whack a big ol' Holley double pumper (OOH ERR!!!!) on the top...........

Get it slung in mate - you know you want to! :y

budget is there for it, depends on sourcing engine, it has a 2.0 in it currently, so is perfectly usable,  i think a month will see it ready. got to get seats, interior, sound system, paintwork, rewiring it all, etc.
plenty of hours left! meanwhile running my company so it only gets about 20 hours a week, the other cars take priority.
