Ok, it's starting, almost all the pieces are in place.

I worked Spring and Summer getting the car all in primer and finishing up the custom valances.

I actually thought this time last year I was suppose to be done.

Here are some photos of the car last week getting towed to the bodyshop, and pictures of how it looked this morning.

Next week I will start to assemble my two and a half years of acumulated stuff back
onto the car and fit the engine.

I will document it with pictures as I go along.

The Completed Car Photos for those who want to skip all 25 pages:

The car is going to be a beauty and a very special 3.1 twin plug turbo powered one at that.

Here are the past links showing the progression and R&D it's taken over the years to get the car to this point.
