Ive photos of the build from day 1, biggest thing i didnt think about would be the build cost, Ł1800 for dipping, Ł2000 for wheels and so...soon adds up..hope it goes well, mine will be on the show scene this year so come and have a look..

You beat me to it. I will be running my 4 door mk2 this year with all it's bits in place as i have never driven a fast mk2, but over winter my bubble arched mk1 shell will be getting the sierra floor treatment. Check out andy's mk2 thread for pointers/inspiration. I'll have to pop round sometime to see the progress 
. Best of luck.
