7. Clynos1 - Near Salisbury, Wiltshire. Started 28th April 2008 - Yellow Can Am, Doing it on the 'cheap' second hand body, ex GTR-Gaz engine, everything else brand new. 996-C2 Gearbox with limited Slip Diff, currently on it's way back from GBOX in the States. Hope to have the car finished just after Christmas 2008-9.

8. rduart - USA, California, Granite Bay near Sacramento. Started November 2007, GTR / Jeff Schwartz provided LS7 / G96-88 transaxle. Blue bodywork, currently plumbing engine bay and refining electrical to use Porsche controls, MXL Pista for the display. Shooting for completion by the end of the year 2008.

9. Spid- Horsham Sussex. Can Am Chassis arrives on 30th September LS7 Engine. 996 GT2/Turbo box when I find one. Would like to build it in a year ish.

10. Qute134 - Cardiff. GTR. Chassis and first 8 stages arrived end of May. Not a great deal completed so far, alloy panels in place. Plan is to fit all new factory spec. Building with LS7 in mind & Porsche G50 gearbox. Hope to put in a lot of build hours over the winter months. Completion early 2010.

11. RussF - Cheshire - Red GTR/LS7/G50-03 - Started Feb 06 - Target for completion Summer 09 - @ Rolling chassis stage with body pre-fit complete and lights fitted.

12. Davrianman - Magor (near Newport, S. Wales) - GTR. Started Sept 2006. Car in paint shop - Colour TVR Spectraflair Silver.

13. 738 driver ..Lancashire - GTR, collected Kit last week....just finishing off the new garage/workshop before the first rivet is popped.

Just like all other builders it will be a labour of love (and hate some days) so no planned completion date!

Duchess posted at the same time (slightly before) Davrianman and was subsequently missed of the remaining postings. Also conscious of avoiding re-allocating 13th to anyone else, just in case there is anyone with particular superstitious sensitivities!

7. Clynos1 - Near Salisbury, Wiltshire. Started 28th April 2008 - Yellow Can Am, Doing it on the 'cheap' second hand body, ex GTR-Gaz engine, everything else brand new. 996-C2 Gearbox with limited Slip Diff, currently on it's way back from GBOX in the States.

8. rduart - USA, California, Granite Bay near Sacramento. Started November 2007, GTR / Jeff Schwartz provided LS7 / G96-88 transaxle. Blue bodywork, currently plumbing engine bay and refining electrical to use Porsche controls, MXL Pista for the display. Shooting for completion by the end of the year 2008.

9. Spid- Horsham Sussex. Can Am Chassis arrives on 30th September LS7 Engine. 996 GT2/Turbo box when I find one. Would like to build it in a year ish.

10. Qute134 - Cardiff. GTR. Chassis and first 8 stages arrived end of May. Not a great deal completed so far, alloy panels in place. Plan is to fit all new factory spec.

Currently fitting body, dash and switchgear on the rare occasions I have time to work on it. Er, um, ran out of dosh, so will finish it when I can; probably just in time for the London Olympicsloser. But despite that I'm very happy with the experience!

13. 738 driver ..Lancashire - GTR, collected Kit last week....just finishing off the new garage/workshop before the first rivet is popped.

Just like all other builders it will be a labour of love (and hate some days) so no planned completion date!

Engine 434ci (7.1L) Dart with Kinsler Stack Injection System, drysump, brodix heads (600+bhp, 600+lb.ft). Just engine install and electrics to complete.

15. LS7TANGO - Oulton Broad, Suffolk - Orange GTR/Schwartz LS7/G50-50. Started Dec 2007....Reckon on couple weeks solid to finish her up......fingers crossed for engine start late October with completion for March 2009 and full year of trackdays!!!!!!!

16. SlackBlevens - Midlands - Black GTR/Boost Performance LS7/dunno which G50 yet. About to start on interior - touchscreen/stalks/computer - undecided on cup holders & beer chiller!
