Feeler: Might be Parting out 86 Scirocco 2.0L 16V

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

All I can say is it's scary looking at their "accessories" page.
It's a good indication of what you don't get in the basic kit.
For me it'd be a couple of years of work to make a real car out of it, but 
I'm sure fast as hell with the engine choice you've made.

FYI, McLaren used a couple of Ultimas as hacks in the development of the 
McLaren F1 as described in the book "Driving Ambition."
Super fast, I'm sure. I don't think I kid myself if I pulled up next to an 
F1 though.
Good luck with your plans. No matter what, I'm sure it will be one hell of a 
lot of fun.
Dan
