Looks like a good project but you will get raped by your insurance company regardless of what engine you fit

They will not like 'Cosworth' on the log book...

Wow, certainly looks like you've got your work cut out mate, good thing with starting from scratch is you know everything will be done right and how you want it!

Good luck mate, what interior plastics have broke btw?
