I have always said to the young fella's that I have had under my wing over the years. build it once and do it properly.

Drsw yourself a plan of what it is exactly that you want from the vehicle. Do you want...

A/ A reasonably stock cruiser to potter around in and go cruising with utter reliability?

B/ A highly modified pig that will eventually annoy you, be unpredictable and go out of tune easily?

C/ A ball out powerhouse that frys the tyres and is dangerous (albeit fun) and that you will be scared to drive in the wet?

Get an idea of what you actually want from the car, draw up a plan and stick to it. It is when the plan evolves that the car will usually end up an unfinished project if you can't settle on what it is that you desire from the vehicle.
