I know what you mean but you don't need money or knowledge just space time and an ability to learn, thats all any of us have. nearly all of the mechanical parts used on my car are second hand the alloys are the engine is etc... only suspension and breaks are new from the mechanical side.

alright, I should have said you don't need bundels of money as my car has been built on a shoe string, especially when you consider that some people will spend more on an engine than the total I have spent on my car and that includes buying it. And no I'm not exagerating I know of people that have run sodemo engines and sequetial gearbox's in hillclimb clio's, so when you add those 2 items together you are getting close to 15 grand no joke. my conversion has cost about a 5th of that, but it has taken time.
