Looks like a lot of work going on there

 

yes it keeps me busy since I retired, always wanted on so I'm building , here in the usa they come as a fwd 4 cylinder car, 56 year old bored body/mechanic

 

cool project man! this will absolutely keep you out of boredom, especially once it's finished...
well done so far!

subscribed , keep us posted...

 

gonna be watching tbis .are you planning it being a sleeper or will it be obvious whats under the hood ?

 

Cool project. Is this a popular modification in the US?

 

Very cool car. I like cars that dont look like much but they pack a powerful engine and modded suspension.

 

no it is not, I believe their are two others besides mine, both of the other cars at a tube chassis race cars, mine is way diff in design and I'm keeping it a sleeper look

 

the drivetrain will be a 5.0 ford and a t5 transmission

 

whats the insurance like with that many mods? from what i've seen people in us are lucky and can do most stuff unless its in a state like california with the smog rules

 

where I live it qualifies as a classic vehicle 21 years old antique 25 which except from emmissions testing but must pass safety once a year a visual check brakes etc, insurance trough hagerty around 265.00
a year

 

thats not bad, and you will be around 4hrs from where I want to move in the future so good to hear.

Keep the updates coming
