What sucks is that page has been up for two years with no updates.

I want to see how it finished up.

We were talking about this a few days ago. Seems some of our regulars here know Eddie. He says on the page that he got the V6 up and running. ... ah here it is.

If I recall correctly, Dave Lum in Portland Oregon had also started a similar project ("Project 1200"), but then got too busy and gave the roller away.

FWIW, Dave's 1200 Coupe was getting an SR20DET. Looked pretty good too.

But then he got the wacky idea to put a VG30DETT into his 510.

It wasn't so much he was too busy as he was too discouraged. Let's wish AFRacer better luck with his LHD 1200 DET project.

I spoke to Eddie yesterday.
Unfortunatly he finished the car OK but not the website. He no longer owns the vehicle and to be honest I don't know who has it now. I was hoping to get it myself when Eddie moved to England but wasn't cashed up then.
I doubt he will ever update the site as he has lost interest in this car not owning it anymore. He is a computer dude so he might one day update it. Next time I talk to him I'll tell him to update it !!!
He also started a GT40 replica which he sold before going OS also which is now finished. Don't know if he ever made a site on that.

He's now back in Oz so I'll pester him for you. And if I find out who has the car I'll see if I can get some underneath shots......its quite a well engineered car underneath.
