Wow nice work as usual! I wish I have the space and time to take on a project like this. When you are sick of this or want space to start the next project let me know. Would love to add this to my collection. I reckon it would look ace next to my other caged white car!

Probably should put these in for perspective...
Just a couple of pics of what the poor thing used to look like, prior to my several years of extensive restoration work :what: !
Covered in rust, bird sh*t, bog, dents, and bad repair work

This one is a keeper, though, unfortunately. I just couldn't sell it now... Not only would I technically 'lose' tens of thousands of $$, it'd also be like experiencing some kind of divorce or death in the family!!!

Originally posted by way View PostHaha yeah, I picked up the Spyder first, then decided I wanted a GT3 so I got a clubsport spec GT3 (which means factory cage) in white. It's a crazily awesome car!!! As for the Mk1, if you ever change your mind let me know Stu! After all, divorce and death do happen! (ok sorry bad joke!)

Wow mate, awe inspiring work. It's my dream to have a project like this in the future, such excellent attention to detail. Maybe I have similar taste in building up a Mk1 as I can't find anything I'd change! Please tell me you have some kind of car experience (i.e. working in the car/mechanics industry) - only so I can try to justify my own incompetence in working on cars!77 Mk1 w/2E Engine (no longer for sale)
