Holy cow. The most extensive build threads I have ever seen. I applaud you heavily for that dedication. I don't even know how to start a project like that. I pull my hair with the simple tasks I do to my fd like an Intake or brakes lol
And you're doing it outdoors? Amazing.

same with me, limited tools but no friends with big tools that are needed for the job. if your on a small budget, im on a micro one .. just took me 6 years to get to where i am now... but a job would help that, fking economy, lost my job and cant find another atm. I also plan to win the lotto so no need for one right

Few more little bits done and I'm not to far away from throwing some paint onto the shell. Will hopefully have it painted by Wednesday or Thursday all going to plan. Just need t get the seat rails welded in and that's pretty much it. I'll be painting the shell a gun mental grey.
Few random pics to keep the tread alive.
Nice shinny wishbones

The series I will be racing he car is the itcc (www.itcc.ie) in the super touring class. I'll hopefully get to head over to te uk and compete in a few races.
The plan is to eventually drop a n/a 20b into it but with the way funds are I can't see that happening for quite some time.

Got a bit of work done today after work. The front end is now in primer and it's starting to look like its going the right direction. I'm prepping the interior (nightmare of a job) and will tackle it again tomorrow.

Man, how hard is it to put a car back together from a bare chassis?
Seems like it would be hard to even know where to start

You ask and you will receive.
Got the interior primers tonight. Next up to do is the rear end and the underside of the chassis.

Didn't get a massive amount done over the weekend. The pub was calling so I had to answer
Got the two rear arches, rear end and a few coats on the roof. Have a small bit of filler work to get done on the quarters before I get some paint on them.
