well possably looking for a engine , rwd box , and 2wd engine bed ,

2wd parts really hubs ect , although as far as the running gear, wheels , brakes, suspension, there all going to be new ,

im going for a fullu adjustable setup on the front end, like u did,

and karl me and jack are going to make a fully adjustable wrc style lateral link setup for the rear , to help with the setting up of the track ect ,

the chassis barley needs anything , got two brand new gen wings to go on , sourced by jack , and new front panel ,

biggest thing i want to to , is get a motor in running gear in and try and mock up the car as much as poss, ( to get measurements for custom prop ect )

then once were happy with it , the shell can be prepped and kit made ,

motor can be stripped and rebuilt ,

looking to go around 450 bhp,, and as many new or as new parts,

, plan is to have it built for nat day next year , ie my birthday ,

so yeha drop me a pm fella with what u got and prices lol ,

hope your well ,

beef ,

Mate I have to say that turbo looks the dogs, should be great once you have it back up and running on the road again.
