Started about 18 months ago but project stalled for quite a long while after a period of being unemployed. The joys of our times. Started working in a barn but have recently had to bring the car home and into my small garage.

Using a bmw 318 e36 as a donor - cheap and plentyful.

HI All,

Paul from down under here,

I started building mine 5 months ago but I would
be lucky if I got 3 full days equiv per mth. I am using
a nissan sr20de n/a, cortina front uprights and nissan
pintara live axle and will ride on 17 in wheels.

Paul

p.s If I had access to all the parts that the UK guys
have I would be close to finishing. You guys are so
lucky.
