I actually “finished” FFR6203 in October of 2011.....just now getting around to “graduating it”. Took delivery in July 2007. Did everything except body and paint (just couldn't wait another year!). No donor, but some donor parts.
The usual and sincere thanks go to you guys on the forum for your wisdom, experience, and a part or 20 along the way. I think the best tool I bought was a computer for the garage! And to our great vendors who not only supply us with great parts, but also share their vast experience and knowledge toward building these cars. And to my wife who really encouraged me to undertake this journey, and who loves riding in it now!
(I did notice from these pics for the first time that I could probably drop the front end an inch or so!)
