Thought I would start an 'ARE WE THERE YET?' Register.

We get to know the more prolific contributors here, but it would be good to know precisely who is currently in Build Mode and what their current stage is? ...

...very useful to other builders no doubt, and even more to newbies....

...maybe we could check occasionally to see how the progress goes?

So, since I know all you out there absolutely LOVE LISTS from what I have witnessed...

If you have already registered your car.. then that does'nt count!

...here we go..

'ARE WE THERE YET?' Register

1. V8 VUM - Started Jan 2006 - GTR/LS7/Getrag GT2 6 speed box - getting close to paint job and engine fit.

Anyone care to add theirs?

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!
