i just clicked through all 42 pages of this thread and i must applaud your dedication to this project! Also, it is coming out great, keep up the motivation and see that it is finished with the quality that has been going into it already!

Thanks, if you want to get started on bodywork I am selling my hood, trunk, fenders and rear bumper. I suggest picking up one of the front clips on eBay though. It's your best option (getting nearly everything at once).
And sorry for the lack of updates everyone, I've been waiting weeks now for my shipment to arrive. Hopefully I'll find our where it is soon.

Hopefully, when I get this new job later this month, perhaps I'll get started on the project next spring or summer. I'm thinking about starting off with body work, first, however. I kinda need to drive it before I start with the car guts.

What if i wanna start with the engine first? cuz right now all im working with is a 1.5 and its already got about 150,000 miles on it Money wont be an issue so whatever is the most powerful engine that can fit

If money isn't an issue and you want to finish a project 100% to the end, then there is absolutely no better way to start than with one of these front clips:

I can't tell you how much money you save by going that route. Not only cash savings in the long run but all the time you save. I have spent countless days searching on end for the correct part, and a clip like that has 90% of what you need, for a crazy low price. Order an interior and a rear floor panel, you're set.
