anyone else like to share their car projects?

this is mine.....

s2 RX7
its running gear was donated to an 808 coupe i had a few years ago. Its half way through being stripped for a bare metal respray, all un-needed holes in the engine bay welded up for hidden wiring so far and just started putting new front end back in ( new bushes, ball joints, tie rod ends,lowered springs ). hoping to build a 12a bridgeport turbo, turbo gearbox, hilux diff and still looking at brake upgrade options.

I have a 1970 capri that is a roller now, it has mini tubs, disc braked 9'', 6point cage, complianced for street rego in QLD, caltracks, disc front, enlarged trans tunnel for scatter shield clearance etc etc. getting rid of it to get back into road bikes. It had a 4v 406ci Clevo that made 670hp naturally aspirated, but it never made it into the car.
 
my vr commodore, was given to me from my sister and her fiance . will have a vs ecotec engine for awhile but will be building a big v8 to go in it eventually
