Thanks pete. There is no reason to respond and get into a flamewar.
About building a fox body... then it wont be unique. My other project is a VW fox (picture whoring below, 'natch) with a 2.0 swap and a possible supercharger on it (if I really really feel the need, which I probably wont). Will that be a supercar... no. Does everyone and their grandmother have one, no. There are a bunch 2 liter or turbo foxes out there (lots of buddies who have them) but they are still unique. I like unique things.
(mmm, being a picture whore)

In order: Full towncar 8.8 rear (because that is what I have), 500 lb springs, once again, full custom springs (probably 300), custom subframe welded to the strut towers/frame, rear end mounting will be all custom floor pan for the boot (trunk or hatch for you american folk), and Ill tub it if I have to (there I might have to be paying for wheels/tyres/Dana 34 rear, but Ill cross that bridge if I get to it, I have some friends with junk parts that they will give me to get it on the road)
Thanks for your comments/concerns
