I've been offered a rolling focus rs shell as a little project.

I've always wanted to do something like this, and was after a focus rs anyway.

Here's a list of all the parts I need to complete it.

full engine
gearbox
anti roll bars
intercooler and pre rad
radiator and some pipes
steering wheel
front calipers
wheels and tyres
front bumper & bonnet
and fuel pump.

I'm going to be honest, I am no mechanic. I'm okay, but when it comes to fitting something like an engine, no chance!

So I was going to send it to have the engine done etc, and do the brakes, intercooler, and final touches to the car.

The only problem I'm having, is getting hold of an engine for it!! I've looked for several months now. I think the project will be fairly easy once the engine and gearbox are in.

My plans at the moment are some nice compomotive mo6 wheels, AP brakes, Sabelt steering wheel, ford racing puma front seats, carbon fibre bonnet, Pro Alloy intercooler etc, and maybe a bigger turbo.

I need some advice, on where to get an engine, or what to put in instead.

And if this is a good idea for some one like me!!!

Thanks

 

This is a mk1 FRS, as I forgot to mention :/
