My project is nowhere near as ambitious. I'm just planning to transfer the mechanical bits from my poor rusting shell to a very solid platform. In the process, I'll look for ways to remove weight and perform some r&r on the parts that do get transferred. The car is intended to remain civil on the highway yet maybe a little more nimble on the track/rally course.

Thanks for playing along. I didn't realize my "clever" joke was an Enzo.

I do promise to post updates and lots of photos through the process. As already mentioned, this is not a near-term project. I anticipate this will take (at least) a couple of years before I will be happy with the results.

You're tempted to keep your right foot in it just to keep moving forward.

I think the hardest part is converting the boost gauge to a MPG gauge. And the little shift arrow light is a bitch.

No problem - Joe. I'm pretty sure I will. You have upgraded the brakes since the last one at Nelson, right?
