Hi it has been a while but i guess it takes time when you yont actually have much.
the car is almost finished at the moment so i thought i would update with some pics. to make room and keep the engine bay tidy we have relocated all the ECU's and fuses into the cabin behind the dash board.

as you can see most of the fab work is now done, only things left to do is finish the wiring, fuel system and get everything polished up.

builds like this arent about how much money you can throw at something, its about taking your time and doing it right no matter how long it takes, guessing that the OP isnt even really concerned about tracking the cost since the thread is over a year old now, just comes down to fortunate resources and patience. Especially with all the little details and custom fab work.

^ That makes plenty sense. Cost over time should not be a concern. All that matters is when ever it is finished and everything has gone accordingly but that does not always happen. Builds can easily become sidetracked. At the end, it is worth it. Even one can give an idea of what a build like this one would cost but that could be way off. Everyone's setup will not be the same and of course can be similar but just as well, they can be different.

Again, this is a nice very clean build so far.
