Believe me mate, cut your losses and stop now.
After spending around £10,000 on the car the DVLA condemed it.
The whole car was built on a one off jig to ensure it was all welded straight and every thing.
I used 2No 2.1ZVH engines both with Mondeo MTX75 gearboxes (with Cable gear change and hydraulic clutch for easier set up).

They claim that because the car was a one off they would not know how it would react in a crash and condemed it from road use.

I was gutted. I spent nearly 2 years building it and all for nothing.

If you just want a track car then great carry on.
If you want road use, forget about it.
Buy a standard one.

Sorry to break the news mate.

Matt.

I'll try and get some photos put on to CD and down load them of my twin engined S2.
Why were the DVLA involved though? If I was me Id just leave all the details as is onthe V5. But keep loads of documents for where the donor parts came from. Leave it on the original plates too.

What happened to the car in the end?
