I see that it's been almost 5 years since I've updated this thread. What else can I say but "life happens". I got married (only a month after my last post), changed jobs a few times, and the car never quite had a good home for the build...
...until now
The project never died, just put on long hold. But finally some real progress has been made! The big news is that the engine is in the car. I'm currently fabricating a downpipe. I will have photos very soon: and I mean in the next few days, not years ;-)
