my cosworth celica took me 8 years and cost over Ł28000 to get on the road. that was a complete new body replacing every panel with main dealer sourced parts mostly shipped over from toyota in japan though along with the cosworth conversion and general all around upgrading. does that make you feel any better?

Mines been on going since I bought the car nearly 8 years ago. I drove the car everyday and just did bits and bobs to it every now and then.The cossie has been in the bodyshop since april.
I dont think we will ever be 100% happy with our cars.There will always be something to do to them.

My last convertion took 4 years 5 months & im 2 years 3 months into the latest & absolutely no idea of a completion date. Its a 25 year old car so while its being modded i dont have to drive it a big advantage
. The only thing im sure of is the Missus has told me its the last throw of the dice & for once i agree with her.

my last project, my cosworth bmw touring, was built over a couple of years but was done while i used it as an everyday car. the longest it was off the road was 17 weeks for the fud to fit the engine. ( 2 weeks was quoted)
