Well now the Minker is almost finished & I have done the other cars + some odd jobs that seem to all come at once that stop me doing what I want to do, I am finally ready to start this project.

The project is to build a 500bhp 24V TT Sierra xr4x4 using a Skyline gearbox, custom built suspension + brakes & alot of other one off stuff too.

To make this more of a challenge I have set myself a target of £5000 for the whole build but I think I can do it a fair bit cheaper than this as to get the parts I want I buy complete cars, nick the parts I want then sell on for a profit  

Most of the build will be detailed here but as I have teamed up with a few companies some of it I can not detail as it's development stuff.

Just about everything on the car will be improved, upgraded, tweaked & anything else I can think of.

Can it be done, how much will it cost, am I talking out my arse  

It all starts here soon.

I forgot to add I am able to do just about everything myself except for some odds & sods that I prefer to leave to others who do it for living.

You would never be able to build a car like this for cheap money if you had to pay for the labour

Mikes part of this is the 4wd sump girdle, ceramic/teflon pistons, custom modded crank & a balanced 95mm bore bottom end.

Yeah £5000 for the complete car is what I reckon but as I mentioned before in true build it yourself project fashion it's all about wheeling & dealing which makes the final costs low.

No secondhand jewels?
I'd be satisfied to get only the engine done for 5 grand.. hehe.
Looking forward to some pics here!
