Well, I m happy I have read everything you wrote! Great read for great stuff!
It looks like you are biting off a whole lot, it will be quite the project!
I m not liking the car you're after much, but it's different, it's unique and amazingly brutal, I think what interests me the most is how you are going to do it, what you are changing to it, that's the main thing, so I hope to read more of that soon, as I m really interested.
Oh, and please, ditch those wheels!
