acknowledged. however keep in mind I am working out of my own garage, with only hand tools. dropping in a new engine would be dificult in this environment.

also severe body damage would be unacceptable, I should be able to pop and bondo any damage myself, or its no good. I want to get the car completely sanded and smooth myself before sending it for paint. the interior I will be gutting and remaking a custom one, so some interior damage would be fine.
