Ok so here it is... I have had this plan brewing for a while now.
The track car has sat for over a year now and the funds are available to do the engine swap with belt change. However, my concerns are that with it sitting so long open to the elements, there may be other issues arise (this combined with the car having no service history and I only drove it around 400 miles!)
So... I have now agreed to purchase Craig's red 180, use the current track car to fix its issues (which is replace the brake disks, bonnet release cables (will get bonnet clips) and thermostat)
Then I will strip the seats and seatbelts out, put in my current bucket seats/harnesses, ge the baby liveried up and it will be ready for the next available track days!
WOOHOO!!
Plus I plan on getting the belts done in the coming months to keep it running for as long as possible.
This means that the current track car will be stripped for parts.
I will be keeping the current track car alloys as they are unmarked mk1 straights and I want a spare set for racing. Other than that, all available parts will be ready to sell. (I will post a for sale thread shortly)
I have also designed a livery through Forza 4 on a Chevy Cobalt so you will have an idea of what it will look like!
