Amazing! I love reading Babs reviews and interviews. They are so clearly thought out and there is such passion behind his modifying. Great standards J.F, and freaking nice pics Eggface.

Such a awesome read!!

I can relate alot with my previous build ups aswell.
Restoring a classic is so much more of a challenge.
Glad to see everyone appreciating the beauty.
Not just mechanically, bodywork and finding those badges, trims etc the finer detail are hard to come by knowledge and parts.

your build thread is quite inspirational. So much detail and time taking to put it together its a fantastic read.

At the end of reading that article only one word came to mind, PASSION. Babs, you have that in spades. Always a pleasure reading your posts.

Hoping one day I will be able to go through the same journey. I'm already having thoughts about building a car, it currently just isn't the right time for me.

Why wait? Remember my car took almost 2yrs.

Great read up JF and Babs. Your car is awesome! When I get a spare spot in the garage, I hope to embark on a journey like this as well.

Why wait? Remember my car took almost 2yrs.

Having recently paid off my Evo IX (which I bought brand new) I'm now saving for a deposit to buy my first place, so yeah financially it's not the best time for me to be pouring money into another car, especially considering I still haven't finished modifying the Evo.

I think once I've secured a place, and have a good grasp of what my budget is like with mortgage repayments in mind I'll consider a project car. Though, I think the problem then would potentially be space, considering I want to live closer to the City and the Evo has to be garaged.

I'm not very mechanically minded and don't have much experience working on cars, so the thoughts around wanting to buy a project car recently is to help me skill up in this area and put something together where I can look at it and say "I built this", with much satisfaction.
