Chassis for a dino

[thecarbuilder246]

Hi

I'm looking to build a chassis with more up to date components for a dino build.
I currently have a rolling chassis built up with a dino 206 body fitted to it. (Deon GT)It's fitted with a cosworth v6 engine mated to the ford rs turbo box as per the dino build.
My reasons are that I want to remove the high cill sections present at the door openings, and remove the massive centre tunnel/backbone section. I also wish to upgrade the gearbox to either a ford focus mk2 st225/rs gearbox or toyota mr2 turbo one, to give me a better gearbox but also give me a cable change which will enable a better looking centre tunnel. My plan is then to fit a 246gt bodyshell.
Any input greatly recieved.
