This is something like I want to build.

I hope you have a large garage, a shitload of tools including a plasma cutter, mig and tig welders, and a shitload of money and/or skills. Because projects like that take years and are best not taken lightly.

I said soemthing like that, maybe notquite as good. And we all have to start somewhere with our first rod project don't we. I guess I've been watching too much "American hotrod" and "Biker build off". I guys knowing who Von Dutch actually are helps too, unlike most of the burbery wearing chavs who have a Von Dutch T shirt to go with their Burbery caps.

Jump into it. Just be aware of the costs in time and money. An understanding other half helps too. There is nothing more satisfying than driving a car you have restored/modified with your own 2 hands.

She looks happy.

Too right!!!!

TBH you got rid of the Celica because of running costs, and you're getting rid of the SAAB because it needs welding. Building something along those lines isn't something you want to do unless you've got a massive bank balance or can weld and paint yourself.

Even doing all the work yourself projects like this have a habit of getting very expensive, on all my projects I've spent more or parts and panels then a ready built example would have cost second hand.

That's pretty much what I thought when I started looking at track prepped Golfs. Many grand to build, a couple to buy after someone else has paid out for it all.

The problem with buying someone else's project tho, is you don't know how well it's been done is you could end up with even more work, also you don't get the satisfaction of driving something you've built yourself.

It depends on the magnitude of the project TBH. If it's a track car, you should have a good idea of if it's reliable and if it's quick. Hot rods have a lot more potential for bodging I suppose.

the idea one would suppose is simplicity.

can't see that unless registered.

worth registering though

Thumbs up :)
