Very sad. Is an extremely nice build (to me at least...)

I know the guy has a pretty crazy work schedule. I think he's normally gone for quite a few months at a time. He's just doing this build in his spare time... which, I'm sure is much less now that he's got a little one to spend time with.

sorry guys, I don't really have much to update, basically waiting on parts, gears, wheels, tires, most of the major fab work is done, just trying to get all the little stuff done. and get the motor wired and fired up. Only updated picture I have is of the front, still deciding on what lights to go with, round lights make it look weird, I think it needs the rectangular xj lights in the front.


winter is here so i'll get more garage time

Happy that the OP returned, even if it wasn't a big update but I'd have for this thread to be deserted

I was thinking more along the lines of PRP seats, they look like good quality, 5 point harness and they make kids seats and boosters.

I can't believe I just read 18 pages in one day.
Amazing talent and also an awesome looking garage.
Can't wait to see more pics.

I have a few ideas about how I'm going to mate my frame to the body but I'd like to see how you did yours. Can you share a couple pics of the interior mounting points?
