Re-read his original post below. Sounds like he had a good donor car already. Why buy another one

Sounds like a fun project. Cant wait to see the outcome.

i guess now we can say this:
Beers = Good Ideas
when all this time i thought beers would = bad ones.
keep us up to date with this set up.
tell us what all you are going to do for a motor set up and rear end ect......
hope you don't have to be drunk to tell us this. lol

thanks for the comments every one

Im hoping for a June completion and some testing here in Oz
We plan to run ot on a low hp setting so I can get used to it as
the quickest car I have bee in is this one when it was running 9's.

We think it will come in at 2000 to 2100 lbs with me in it and
run a 1100-1200 hp methanol 4G engine, so a very low 7 is the
target with a high 6 maybe one day.
