Good luck with the project, looking forward to seeing how this turns out!
What engine plans have you got for it?

Just so you people are aware this build is going to take a verry verry long time, its mainly down to money the cost of the parts i need is really high! I could save a lot of money buy getting fiberglass panels and bumpers but id rather wait and do it properly!

Sorry guys family problems and loss of work shop have forced a tomporary pause to proceedings but I have just secured a new workshop so will be starting again soon.
I have also been busy with my daily driver, it's a Mazda rx8 that I have put a Toyota 4l v8 in. If your interested I can start a small thread in the other cars section for you guys to have a look at? The Mazda forums are full of unhelpfull OEM sorts!

Given that most RX8 engines have a lifespan of about 60K before needing a rebuild it actually seems like a logical choice replacing it with something else.
There is a lad on one of the SAAB forums that has swapped in the 2.3T from an 9-5 Aero to an RX8 making circa 300 HP and way more torque than the old rotary lump.
