Message	If it were my cash, I would buy a second car. Convert the NA with a modest stageIII or mild turbo upgrade and finish off the interior. Net result, TT with fresh engine, excellent paint, and a brand new interior. Then get a TT with a blown motor and do your caged monster build there. I couldn't bring myself to build a track car with brand new paint and interior. Both the interior and exterior will suffer from repeated track time. Anyways, good luck and I'll be happy to help turn a wrench or two. "Too dumb for opera, too smart for NASCAR."
