Super excited to start this thread.
I've been waiting to post until the donor was secured, and I confirmed that today. It was located close to my hometown in Indiana, so I had my dad pick it up this afternoon. Its a 5 speed car with light driver's side rear quarter panel damage.
I'm planning a trip up to his place to do the tear down over the long 4th of July weekend. I'll be bringing most of the parts back to TN with me for use in the goblin and resale.
My frame was ordered earlier this month and Adam/Lonny expect to have it complete near the end of July. This will give me some time to get parts cleaned up and ready for installation.
I'd like to document the build as much as possible on here for future reference and to share information with other builders. This forum was what pushed me over the edge on the purchase - already such a great collection of information. I've learned a lot about the Ecotec platform during my research in the last few months, and a lot of it came from this board. I've got quite a bit of experience working on Japanese motorcycles and classic cars, but the Ecotec is all new for me. This will also be my first go at building a kit car. Looking forward to sharing this build with the community.
