cool...looking to do this soon. The thing that stinks and I just went through it in my 240sx is how the insurance wants to total it based on KBB values.
They ended up sending a special adjuster and pegged my car at 2 years of functional age or something like that. Paid out the $6k claim. The body parts and lights are very expensive (about the same as the VX according to the parts list).
That's always the scary part in building up a vehicle.
Just got to figure out if leaving the sports car arena is the right choice for me.
