That sucks mate. Where you located? Engine change will be around £650 engine plus 6 hours labour I'd imagine. About 1k. Rebuild head, belts etc will probably not be far off to be honest. Depends on the damage though.

As said it should be ok. Only way to find out for sure is to scope the block. If it's going to be a race car you might be better strengthening it as a priority, then going for Tb's/cams etc.
Suspension/wheels/tyres/brakes and general renewing bushes/mounts etc, plus cage, will probably take a...
true to an extent. Fairy will remove wax over a period of time with constant use during washing. Saying that, most other car shampoos will also remove it (albeit slower). A reasonable strength clay bar will do it no problem. Standard clay might take a bit more effort. Other than that, maybe APC...
Just use bolt in harnesses, no messing then. Much better than cg lock. Ones probably around similar price to the cg. Used to use cg on track, but the decided to go for harnesses, I bolt them in when I get to track, then remove and replace belt bits after. 5 min job :D
nice low mileage there mate. get rid of that CG lock and purchase some cheap 4 point (if you've got recaros), or 3 point harnesses (for standard seats), much better. Brakes will be good, but you're paint might not forgive you ;)
you realise that you've basically just removed the "step" part of the accelator travel. It will go to the floor. There is a cut off point which is used for the speed limiter cancellation. Or was that your intention?
Car looks nice though mate :D Think I may have seen it while I was down at Matts.
One of mine was crap, but I let it discharge fully and it was like that for a while, so I'm guessing that's the issue.
