Default Just got hold of one of the 30 odd ford racing mk/5 fiesta shells

As tittle, a shell from the ford fiesta credit championship in the 90's (still running as the brscc championship) its a mk 4 fiesta shell with a mk5 front end, do i do it up like mine? (as in the project section somewhere) or paint the shell and sell it? or funky road car (altought no chassis numbers on shell), or do it up and store it? Any comment welcome. Its basicaly a mk 5 shell with a good weld in cage.

Why start with such an engine when you could have a much better one.
