Looks like it'll keep you busy, what are you planning to do with it? colour, wheels interior etc etc :)

New subframe has been fitted. Took a little longer than i'd have hoped.

Thanks again to Eric for the kind use of his tools.

@Nibby:
Over time the seats will be re-trimmed, colour will be Arden blue (most know it as VXR Blue). Wheels will be painted black with an arden blue ring around them. Going to stick with the 998 i have at the moment then at some point change then engine for somthign a bit more beefy. Set of 4 point harnses to go with the seats however the standard belts will be kept as well 'cos the missus doesn;t like harnesses.

Not too sure exactly how it wil turn out but i'm hoping to just get it on the road at the moment. I don;t really care how it looks i just want it on the road for now and the rest can come in time.

In light of eric's post "How much does it cost" (or somthing like that) i have updated the first post with a total of everything spent so far on the car.

Since its early in the project i thought it would be best to start it now rather then think how much i spent later on.
