I'm in the middle of designing a web site for this! http://www.mykitcarblog.com/ is what it's meant to be. I started based on one of the earlier discussions on here; was going to announce it when I finished it (looks like I'll have to now smile ).

My builds:

http://karma.tribbeck.com/ (RW Karma rebuild)
http://locust.tribbeck.com/ (JC Locust rebuild)
http://aeon.tribbeck.com/ (Aeon GT3 build)

I wrote two build diaries. The first is about the build of my Westfield SEiW with a Ford 2l Zetec engine. It can be found here.

Currently I am building a GTM Libra with an Audi 1.8 20VT engine. Build diary here. Mt website features two webcams where you can follow the progress. When you are really quick you can see me writing this message. wink

Both websites are in Dutch, but the pictures tell the story.

The best are the self designed cars.
DP cars
Meerkat
La Bala

Perhaps not relevent to most builders though, but very interesting all the same.

I'm going a bit stir crazy waiting to get the Westie, and reading these don't help!

Agree they are really interesting, but also agree that maybe they're not as useful to others making the same car.

It's been mentioned before (a few years back!) but this Westfield Megabird build site is still live...... and it has the coolest time-lapse video of the build!

Thanks awfully biggrin
Unforunately it looks like the full time-lapse will never happen as the images have been lost frown
