Hi Ozzy,

I like your plans! I think you should factor in some time scales too, as this has proved much more of an issue to me then the costs, which have been quite reasonable.

I had moments like, "oh, I'll take the seats out in the morning and crack on with the interior", only to still be cutting through the rusted bolts at the end of the day with a tiny hacksaw blade, because that is all there was room for.

I spent 3 days taking the exhaust of at the manifold.... but then maybe it is just me being hopeless!

Your project sounds very interesting, please post some pictures of your progress!

Chris

Remember to allow some time to enjoy it between the work "phases"!

well i think 1 month for the initial stuff, about 9 months for phase one, 18 months for phase 2, and 3 years for phase 3 to all be complete...
this is of course assuming that the house im going to start building next year doesnt consume mylife and money!

but all being well should just be a case of borrow money aganist land, and let a contracter sort it

(i have done all the architechural plans myself already)

and of course im working on my own PC/Xbox 360 game in my "spare" time too!!

still its all good fun!!! I am hoping to get her started for the first time in 2 years today! wish me luck!
