Brian,
looks like a nice solid base car :-) You think you have high fuel prices? We are about to hit £1/litre in the UK.. Jeff, Start a new thread, it will be a long one! What plans for the ecotec, will it fit under the decklid? paint? are those wheels on properly? brakes? Looks like it has a bright future! Rich

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 ****

 I wasn't pointing any fingers!My first thought is to try and keep it simple and low cost and just focus on the Eco conversion but there's always sooooo much trick stuff being done on here that my imagination gets to cooking and I want to take it to the ultimate... deep breaths, calm down, keep it simple.

Its just sitting on the floor in the pics, I'll start a whole thread once the adapter comes in and I start trying the mockup. Jeff-
