Well, at least yours is one of a kind, lol! =)
MMC, yep, the Veyron is awesome...No question about it...A work of pure genius and art. Too much for my blood though...Nice to know I can build a car with that kind of power for a fraction of the cost...But still, very expensive.

Jose, how did you know??? I thought you fled the SC forum scene...I have not seen a post from you anywhere for a long time. How is all? Any new projects in the works?

Thanks! I just got an email from Darin...He is slammed until he gets back from the Texas Supra meet. I guess I will not be on the dyno until after the 22nd of this month. No worries, that works just fine. Plenty to do until then.

Thanks again for the props.

Hahaha no matter how far I go, I'm never far from this build.

New projects have been some real estate ventures, and expanding the "shop". The SC and GTI are great but I've been itching for a new build so looking at some Miatas.

I am flattered that you continue to watch this very long, and finally almost complete build! Thanks man!

If people have cash, real estate is a good thing right now to invest in...

I know what you mean...Projects can be addicting, especially when you are a Certified ASE Master Mechanic! I noticed that in your Sig. Congrats on that!

Yes! That´s why I said "at least yours is one of a kind" =)
(it´s hard to understand my sarcasm in my own language, in english it´s even worse!)
You put all your money in your car for...3 years?? That is commitment!

BTW, are new wheels in your plans?
Kind regards.

Haha Ryan I have way too much emotional investment into this project to abandon it now! Been reading every post for the last forty years.

Thanks for the congrats! Will keep following.

MMC, I did not put "all" of my money into my project, just a lot of money. Yep, it is getting iforged 20" wheels.

Jose, I know...I am trying to keep it from crossing into the next century... Soon, we can go on that cruise we discussed last decade...

I want to clarify "cruise" means getting together with our rides and cruising the streets of south Florida.

I know it weren´t all you money. I just don´t know how do you say that as an expression. In spanish saying that it´s like saying that you put big amounts of money and didn´t take measures of it, just bought/made the best of the best. All of that with the simple sentence of "you put all your money". Lol.
Did you end up with the exterior? Try to upload some more pics with the front reassembled. And if you put them on, with the iForged wheels too.
Congrats for your build. Now people gonna look SC400´s with some respect.

The phrase in English would be "money no object".

Which surely applies to this build.
