thanks for all the info guys. im still unsure wether i want to go through with it yet. i was bidding for a rolling shell on ebay but lost it with 8 secs to go. wasnt happy. the car if i ever decide to do it will run my stage 1 rwd cossie engine and it will be for road use and it would run on my cossie lsd so would i need major stregthning? or could it be ok with a small roll cage and strut braces? max bhp it will run is approx 280-300. dont want to wipe out my finances on it really i have about £7000 to spend. and with that i have to buy the shell and get the engine fitted. tryin to find a shell with the large tunnel already fitted or an auto. hopefully to make it cheaper
