Default back in the game, 79 lotus esprit S1 PT

Ive been liquidating projects and stuff and made room and time for a new project.. my 78 malibu just wasnt sellable with all the big dollar stuff on it so i bought oem suspension and put it up for sale and bought a 1979 lotus esprit S1

no engine/tranny.... basically frame and shell,,

I have a bunch of stuff to install in allready on the shelf
isis wiring
vintage air AC
ATS spindles (will have to modify some s4 front lower arms to install)
adjustable IFS uppers
touring classics c5 brakes
18 inch forgeline wheels
hydraboost
bear rear brakes
LS1 engine with cam and tea heads

it will require some engineering to bastardize the front suspension to run the ATS spindles but im confident its dooable... the LS1 swap has been done with a g50 tranny and s4 rear hubs to run CV joints...

this is not a shake and bake project but im sure that a 2200 lbs esprit with a 520+ crank hp LS1 is enough motivation to get all the parts and the car to come together...

with regards to interior im at a loss... bit im thinking a PT car should look somthing like penny or lap one inside... exterior colour... white
