Below is an extract from Dave's introduction & kit car build diary - to read more, please visit his web site.

"This site is dedicated to the build of a Kit Car, the conversion of a 1994 Ford Granada Scorpio into a much nicer looking, much wider and generally a lot lighter Dodge Viper RT/10 replica. With that said, there is no way the dash is being replicated, it's boring as hell."

"There isn't really a need for me to keep a diary of what I am doing, or indeed detail every aspect of the build process in minutia. However, I do feel compelled to pass on the comedy that really is what I am going through and on the journey what I am making other people suffer too :)"

Day 6 - Wired Hell 4 hours
