From where did you get inspiration to start your own build?

I was bored at work one night and picked the book up off the shelf and had a flick through. Started talking about it with a colleague and some silly suggestions for donor cars came up (V8 engines, Evo based 4x4, Supra twin turbo etc).

I ended up buying the book and then towards the end of my time at uni I realised I was really bored with everything and had no sense of achievement from anything I had done and had no proper job lined up for when I finished. I thought it would be great to have something I could look at and say "I did THAT!"

So just before my final exams I bought a Sierra and decided to build the car while I worked part time and looked for a decent job. Doing it now kind of makes sense to me. Still living with parents so bills are minimal and I have no serious work commitments. The only downside is a lack of money from working part time
