Thanks mate.

Budget??? Starions and budgets dont really go together in my experence lol. Ive spent 5 times more than I planed to at the start! But then its a heaps better car than I ever thought it would be...

Awesome JAS, you should be very proud. It takes huge dedication and deep pockets to pull off something that nice. !!!

I know there's never a budget when comes to Starions . .

was just interested to know approx cost of redoing from scratch but i think vulpes said it. . ill have to dream !

I just love the tidyness of the engine bay . It makes the mechanics of it [which im only just learning] all look so simple starting from scratch like that [ which of course im sure it was'nt! ]

Its funny isnt it, I wonder if the guys ( some perhaps now dead ) who screwed these cars together 25 years ago ever thought this kind of love and attention would be lavished on them. imagine inventing a time machine and driving this car back to the factory and showing them. The engineers would have had a fit !
