Someday I want to be "rebuilding a Jalpa in my garage" level of cool, because that's cool.

Somewhere in the universe there either needs to be an AMG-swapped Lambo, or Lambo-swapped Benz.

I like where you're going with that.

In reply to Pete Gossett:

An Espada or Jarama with a mercedes v12 to replace a permanently broken or missing original engine would actually be a relatively reasonable idea.

Someone once said when the car finally moves, the project is half done.  What they neglect to mention is sorting will be a lot more enjoyable than building.  This one will take some time but the rewards for each step are many.  Gassing up the car will be a spectator event rather than just gassing up the car.  hopefully, the sorting will go well so we can get this car on a dyno rack and get a power figure.

Well I must say I did not expect this to make the news page of GRM.  I am humbled, thanks everyone and I'm glad everyone has enjoyed this so far.

You'll need to log in to post.
