From some of your posts, you don't have a lot (any?) experience of cossies, which in itself isn't a problem - everyone has to start somewhere, but you could end up spending a few hundred quid buying parts to get the car to run better and fail, simply through lack of experience, and then you'd get pissed off with the car and curse the day you bought it.

Get someone who knows what they are doing to go through the spec, make sure everything is specced correctly and replace unsuitable parts, and then enjoy yourself. It'll be cheaper in the long run.
