Oh man, now I really can't wait. We were amazed at the amount, level, and speed of work you were doing on the car before in the basement. Now it's going to have it's going to have a dedicated room with a door large enough for it to fit through, with easier access to equipment and tools, and more room to work in. Shit's about to get real up in here. Can't wait to see the new updates.

In the mean time how about some details and photos of what you are doing on the house, might help keep the buzzards sated until you can get back on the car.

Ya mean to tell me you're working with wood? Be careful, man. That stuff is dangerous. It catches fire when you try to weld it. :icon_welder:

Not if your using a Elmers welding rods, they can be a bit messy, but no burning.

Probably had a big storm in November and washed everyone off the island. Gwaii's been sailing a 1200gal air compressor back from Russia ever since.

Or, maybe he's been building a garage.

The garage was announced last October, if I'm not mistaken. It's only been 4 months or so.

I, too...

...have read all these pages, and carefully inspected the photos~ wonderful and inspiring undertaking!
I thought i was the only one who had the idea to cram a V12 into a GT6+.

.... Only my project GT6 is getting a twin turbo M70 BMW V12. Curious if anyone knows what has become of this fellow and his basement creation?
