Happy to, ask away!
I hope to get mine running again tonight after a winter of upgrades. I'll post pics shortly.
I bought a MkII Roadster on close-out special in April 2004, so I save a little bit of maney.
1 - I used a rusty but dependable 1988 Mustang GT
2 - Without paint, but all legal fees, lot's of donor parts, home made, and scrounging, $23K. I have a spread sheet if you want.
3 - Too many! And still doing more. But, who cares!!!!
4 - Not too much, a few cases. Coffee, pizza also must be figured in.
5 - yes, just give her one of your convertibles when you are done, and a donation to her college fund!
Since you are so close to the factory, you should stop by.

I remember that trip! Still think I should've called the guys bluff, "we pulled the battery....." after I wedged myself into the coupe and found the keys in the ignition!
Here's an idea for Deanna's summer vaction........ship her here for two-three weeks so I can put her to work on "sally", then I'll forward her up to WORTH on the Cape!

For the wheels, I did want the replica Halibrands, and they did not come cheap. Probably the most expensive purchase for the car. I did watch the budget on my street tires (Yokohamas). The 17" rims & tires are for track time, very soft, sticky tires.
I did not paint it on purpose, as I have not yet finalized my paint scheme. Definitely NOT blue with white stripes! I also wanted to leave it raw as I figured I'd be racing the car for a few years, probably swapping motors, getting the car dirty, and just beating it silly, so why paint it yet? I will in a few years when I am done pounding it sensless, and save up enough $$$ for a nice paint job.
