Rich,
Waaaayy too early to start a build thread, but you bet I will when it kicks off. I am at LEAST a year away from being able to invest in parts.

I dont have any concrete build plans yet, other than the Ecotec. I bought that used engine and ordered an adapter from KEP (pretty much my parts budget for the year ) so I can do some mock ups, trying to show some folks over at the STF what it takes to get it in a stock bodied bug. I guess I could start a thread on that part once I start mock up.

The trouble for me, and I've watched others do the same, is getting carried away with the build. If I'm gonna do this, might as well do that. Next thing you know, a simple brake upgrade turns into a tube frame balls out money pit.
Too much dreaming/designing going on right now in my brain.


Jeff-

**Forgot to add, wheels are some old 19s that are unusable. Just rolled up into the openings, no suspension in the front and swing in the rear ****
