Might have to give Lee303 a ring, get him to add another build to his list.

Well I think everyones is a bit of this and a bit of that at the end of the day, it should of seen a track day with all the bits it had on it but unfortunately it never did.
In all fairness Jr's is going to have some shit hot spec but with no disrespect I dont think that will see much trac action even though it had a heavy track spec I am sure it will more used on country lanes around Brands Hatch 
Mine may not of seen a track but it plenty of runs at Santapod though
it will get used more on track that in will on shit pot holed roads, how often ? when its not raining

decent x16 bottom end £200 tops
cams £300'ish
pullies £200 ?
arps £100
metal rollers £100
= £900
replace the bits you would like oil pump etc and yeah about £1k
get the head sorted wont be stupid id you keep it standard spec, even a worked one will be about £400 for a mild job
so your still have 1k spare easily, to not spend on the car
