Hi everyone! Greetings from New Haven, CT! I feel happy to reveal the progress of #269 ready for fiberglass panels. We started in December 2014, and nine months into the project we have a rolling chassis - We took the first test drive in the parking lot last week!!!
I felt uneasy about showing up here before because I thought we would never finish the project... I was a bit intimidated at first by the immensity of the challenge, and we run into a number of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. We had to improvise and adapt along the way, and more recently we felt more confident about deviating from the book/manual to find more elegant or simple solutions.

I couldn't have done this alone, and credit and kudos go to my son Nic Juncadella and his partner at BoxerWerks, Tristan Kovaitis, who lent their shop space, tools, expertise and generous portions of their scarce time to see this through. Credit also goes to the good folks at PeakAutoPerformance.com for their excellent advice and access to affordable performance parts and components.
I look forward to driving our car to the open house next summer... I actually hope to be able to get some miles on the road before winter sets in - if that fails there is now the option of "downgrading" to a Coupe conversion! LOL
Best wishes to all,
Enrique Juncadella
