hey guys,
well i really appreciate all feedback and advice you have all passed on. i guess there is a whole lot more to be considered than i first though. (for example, using an rb20 or sr20)
hence another reason for this post. and as this is something new for me im happy to take on any advice.
so for now i think i am going to go with a gts shell and make that a starting point and then make some other decisions a little later down the track.
but for now just want to say a big thank you for giving me some ideas and what sort of things i need to think about.
