I wish I had the space/knowledge to go about it that way. I have a feeling I'll have to outsource the labor when the time comes. Cheers to you for doing it on your own!

Have a definate goal and plan for your mods. ie engine g/box wanted. body type ( targa, coupe, sunroof or not) width of finished product. This will give you a base car to start with. The better the car here will save you plenty in the long run including time. Dont worry about losing "the one" get it checked out properly there is always another deal!

Well I already have the car so it's really a matter of justifying it to myself and doing the research. When I do bite the bullet and commit to the project I'll have exactly what I want in mind. There are far too many photos of beautiful cars on here to not have a good idea of what it should look like.
Hopefully yours turned out the way you'd planned (once you overcame those obstacles).
Best,
Matt
