Have you already found a engine and tranny for it? Check out your local craiglist and the junk yard for the parts you need to get it back together.

1. Punctuate/post properly. If you expect us to give time to help, take the time to post legibly.
2. Set goals other than "street legal racing machine" and we can better help.

Sorry for the punctuation errors and word choice. I just want my car to be able to perform well in racing portions in nopi competions, and still at the same time to be street legal. I dont want to be one of the people that carry thier car around in a trailer i want to be able to show off my car out on the streets.

"Street legal" is pretty relative. Depending on inspections in your area, it can be tricky.

Put a 4g63 motor and an AWD trans back in with STOCK parts. Do the t-belt, fresh fluids, align the car, and drive it for a few weeks. See what you think it is missing, and go from there.

Thank you kindly for your help I will begin my search. Most likely I will a have a pic posted hopefully by friday because the car has not been towed to my house just yet.
