Update

Based on the above and all the other bits and bobs required to get the car on the road the total cost was about £4500. Since then the following have added to the cost somewhat:

Part Cost £'s

Stage 2 engine, bellhousing + misc bits 1750

DCOE carbs and manifold 300

TSW wheels and yoko tyres 575

LSD vented disks+calipers 200

Total £2825

So now were up to about £7500 in the last 3 and a half years, it sounds like a lot till you realise that even now the car is still worth around £7000. £500 quid for three years of high adrenalin motoring and good fun is a great bargain if you ask me.
