That is a tidy build!!
Would you need to IVA something like that do we think?
Given that all parts bar the shell is brand new... could you register it as a new car?
Anyone got any other build threads like that to keep me amused at work?

Loving that M3.
Only thing I like better is one of the quotes.....

There are so many starving children in the world that could be fed for years with the money it took to build that car. And I would line them all up in a line and hit them at 180mph WITH this car
hmm kind of looks like an old bluebird

I'm thinking that's the point... seems like someone has just updated THEIR dream car! I've often wanted to do something similar with an Audi 80 Coupe...
Oh my lord!!! That really is impressive!!! I bet servicing is a PITA!!!! Engine out to change a spark plug??

Ah the Lambo... yep, looked great on the posters in the teenage Scootz's bedroom and yep, I would still want one, just BECAUSE!
But (and it's a big but) they were apparently a complete pig to drive.
In fact, did James May not have his heart broken by one in a 'best not to meet your heroes' kind of way?
PS - I know that's not the point you're making Whippy... just an evolution of the conversation!

Is it wrong for me to be getting all excited while looking over that link??!! That is an awesome build and i would love to work in a place like that!
didnt see a spec of dirt.

Thats a nice build. Looks like the owner has a few quid to splash out on it.
Most people want cars done up but dont want to pay for it! 
Trying to make a silk purse out of a sows ear in most cases.
Simply flippin' 
Love the old M3 shape more than any they've produced since and the quality of that build is just stunning.
Oh to have the cash, tools, skills, patience...etc!!!
