Mine either after the year I’ve had. What a learning curve though ! I think that kind of rebuild is on another level though. Your definitely the man for the job though Mikey.

Looks awesome mate.
I was hoping to do a D3 body swap and extended chassis on a RRS here in Australia.
Do you think this would be an easier or harder option than what you have accomplished with the TdV8 Swap.

Same difference. Still needs loads of wiring swapped, for what is essentially the same chassis, albeit a few inches longerMy D3 Build Thread
Is this going to be a keeper Mike or will it be up for sale ?The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;

The plan WAS to keep it, however, there has been huge interest in this, and there have been serious offers made for the car when it's completed...
That's why it's gone from a conversion, to a balls out restoration and rebuild
And this turned up today too
6 litres of Buzzweld rust encapsulator
6 litres of Buzzweld wheel arch refinement (black)
6 litres of Buzzweld Galv in One (black)
Looking forward to seeing it finished fella.........Then you can get cracking on another (Taking into account all the things you have learned from the first one) Please can I have dibs on that (Would prefer silver )
All the best Mikey The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
