things ive accomplished latley-
alloy panelling
fuel system
water plumbing
massive exhaust system
driveshaft and hoops
power steering to rack
so just need to fix up body,slap on some paint,new set of belts,join a club and we're good to go ;D ;D
14 months so far and $3000 ;Dnot including consumables ,ie gas, wire, cuttin/grinding discs.

well 19 months after i dragged half a chassis into garage i got drive my car out of the garage for the first time;Dit felt pretty good,turns out all the tyres that came with the car are stuffed,air coming out everywhere >:(so thanks to chris for the (lend of a set )and valley batteriers and tyres for their paitence she is now that much closer to hitting the track, thaks to dennis from fiberglass spiecalists too for the excellent job they did on bringing a 26 year old body to life ;D after a couple of niggels;power steer leaks etc im very happy with the results. and for those keeping and eye on the budget side of things,by the time i buy a newish set of tyres well be scraping in under 4k. now i do most things i do myself but ive had a lot of help wich im very grateful for,thanks you guys so paint this week and some belts and im there ;D   |

more fun than you can poke a stick at ;D ;D
i might try 98 gas next time too ;D
really happy, didnt get hot ,didnt miss a beat,everything seemed to work.steering worked well ,driveline felt good,easy to drive
only problem seemed to be hitting the limiter just before the turns might try smaller rear tyres.
