So i am in the process of purchasing a 90 rolling chassis and a dissasembled 1.8 out of a 94. the body is suprisingly solid for an ohio car minimal rocker rust, so paint and a bit of work on that will sufice. The car is going to be mostly street, a few track events here and there, and some strip time.

The engine is alread dissasembled and awaiting machining. I want a higer horsepower motor, i want to be able to take my buddy in his new 5.0 stang.
