Yes I do believe I am already in trouble.

I've done a bit of a stocktake on what's there.
plenty of arms, gearbox cases, and alloy bits in varying degrees of straightness.

Driveline is my main area of concern. There are a couple of drive chains, and plenty of diff housings, but i'm not sure on the longevity of the units and how they will stand up to even a 17.5 spec motor...

There appears to be what I thought would be a viable belt drive assembly, but the belt has a twist that might not come out so the tracking might be a problem. I might be able to find a belt, but then as I looked further the drive gear is different to the diff halves for the chain drive, and the teeth look a bit average...
Also I have 3 of the intermediate alloy 'pinions' that run on the layshaft, and they are all a little on the chewed up side.
Now I realize that it is a near 30 year old car of unknown usage, but something tells me that the drivetrain is going to need a bit of work.
