As most## of the work will be rewiring , putting in a new ECU.. and you are self confessed not competent, my advice is : DON'T do it.

I have seen too many projects like that stall from lack of MONEY, skills or resources.

If you can't sort out the electrics and don't have a friend who can, you are looking at £000s.. and still possible failure.

I speak as one who has built kitcars and rebuilt various old cars...

## The design work that is. Any fool can install most mechanical things with a few brackets...

there was a guy on YCUK that has done this might be worth getting in touch with him click here for YCUK

he has indeed, his name is Steff, was featured in a magazine also.

Had the missfortune of following him around the top gear track... :(

yehh iv had a chat with him and he basicly said the jobs are endless! as much fun it would be to create a car like that it sounds like im in over my head lol but thanks for the honesty people i might aswell buy a starlet gt and start from there :)

Wise move Josh. I was thinking about putting a VW 2.9 Corrado VR6 engine in a 1.6 Golf Driver a good few years ago

When i reckoned up all the costs, it would have been far cheaper to just go buy a VR6 Corrado instead.

It's good to have dreams and idea's though, keeps your mind active at least. ;)

A second hand Fiesta ST would be cheaper than a Yaris TS + terbo fitting.
