I guess the 2 best people to ask questions is Paul RS spares who has a touring car and mark @ mt who is rebuilding one.

Great plans mate!

[twin turbo]

i would have used lexan Windows.

smith and deakin for styling? they are known to be good quality parts.

why non Power steering?

At last, a pic of your moonstone blue 3dr

Shame your camera makes it look like you were knocking one off at the time

Sounds like a good project
