A good engine is worth £3K minimum, you will want an undamaged shell (so nothing crash damaged) so where do you get a figure of £5K???????

If its going to be a track day car the shell needs to be straight and undamaged, the engine needs to be strong, so I guess you are looking for a cosmetically scruffy car, I still think you will spend £8Kish, I think £5K is just not achievable...........would a C2 be better for trackdays, rather than a 4????

Exactly.

Weight saving is the issue for track use - it's the only justification for fibreglass panels. The only benefit of a wide body is to accomodate wider wheels. For racing this may be a consideration, but less so for track use where the car should be as nimble as possible (IMO). Best to get a 964 C2 and build an RS clone.
