Thanks lads.

The plan is to get it running asap, but unfortunately that's where the most money needs to be spent - again. The engine I have is more or less good to go once a couple of little things are fixed, the big BTCC brakes are now 100% working (finally!!) and I think the electrics are also good to go. All it really needs is some pipework sorting in the engine bay, a power steering pipe and the exhaust moved to suit the new turbo... oh and it still needs to be mapped before it goes anywhere on it's own.

Unfortunately I don't think the bodywork will survive a track session in it's current state. At the moment the front extended wheel arch is hanging off and the side sills are disintegrating due to water ingress - so whatever colour it ends up there is some serious bodywork to be done

Yeah it could have been so much worse, I was fairly lucky I missed all the solid things. So far the damage seems to be 3 bent alloys, a cracked sump and a new front end. In the grand scheme of things not too bad really... but I've got all winter to fix it
