Are you able to work on the car in storage? How much of the driveline is complete? Do you have a ECU for it? I have a NA tune for a megasquirt if you want it.

My suggestion is to just get the car running NA, chip away at it and in the end you will be supprised at the results. I spent $3300 building my 1uz Crown, it took me 8 months but i just did everything as cheap as possible but man what a hilariously fun car to drive. I too had plans of grandure for my crown but at the time i could not afford to do them.

It had no WOF, reg or cert and i drove it every sunday for months. Cops would give me the thumbs up, People would tell me stories of there v8s they had when i filled up at the petrol station. I ended up selling it because i couldnt afford a cert but the best thing i ever did was finish it. I thought about scrapping the whole thing as i had nowhere to work on it, or store it.

In the end i had to beg my folks to store it on there lawn and i would work on it there out in the sun on fine days. I remember wiring it up with it pissing down with rain, hiding inside the car using a butane soldering iron.

Just a suggestion.
