Monkman33's Long and Slow "Process"

[Monkman33]

Hey all. Some of you know me, some of you don't. I've had my FD for 7 years now, and it has never ran. Yeah, lesson learned: Don't buy a project car when you're 22 and live in an apartment. Now I am 29 and have my own house, so progress can happen from time to time.... barring getting laid off for 6 months at a time. However, members on the forums were more than willing to purchase some items from me that helped me stay afloat and keep moving forward now that I am back to work.

Over the years, my goals have been pretty liquid. But I have nailed things down to one ultimate goal:

To build my vision of an FD for today while maintaining the spirit of the original design.

So, I will post up 6 years worth of progress. Sounds like a lot... but it's really not. I will probably condense it a bit since I have to upload 1 at a time. ;-)


Here is the FD when it got delivered to my family's place. (Remember: Dumb 22 year old in an apartment, burdening his family with his own poor choices)
