Default Enoch's at it again

Hi folks, some of the forum "old guard" may remember me from my previous build. Am building another one now albeit a heavily modificated one
This one is being built to accept a Jag 5.3 V12 and independent rear suspension. As it will be a bit heavy for such a small engine I intend to fit a couple of turbo chargers to liven things up a bit.
I have the rear part of the chassis built - basically from the engine bulk head back, I need to get my donor engine out before finalising dimensions for the transmission tunnel and front end.
I know all the arguments as to whether it will be a roadster or not - maybe it will, maybe it won't but it is still based on the principles of the book build. I am enjoying building it, I have a much bigger and better workshop than last time, will put some piccies on photobucket soon and do another post with a link to them.
So hi to all the old members that remember me and also hi to the young whippersnappers who don't know me from Adam.
PS my old build diary - www.deepfolly.co.uk - is still up but will soon be wiped so I can do a whole new diary for my Jagster.
Dave.
