I changed my mind on starting a build thread. My plan is simple. To build the most stock Goblin possible. If you're looking for a hex turbo build with 750+ HP, climate control, and hydraulic suspension with a tow package, this thread isn't for you. 
I started the project back in July when the grass was still green. Here's the donor before it went under the wrench.
It was involved in a front end collision. You can see the slightly crumpled cross member behind the hood latch.
I put about 700 miles on it before I started disassembly. 75 degrees in the middle of July in OK. Not bad. The average temp usually hovers around 350 degrees with 200% humidity.
Here are the parts cleaned up and ready to go for the most part. I don't have the engine in a good area to get a picture of it. The only thing I did to it was cleaned it up and powder coated the valve cover red. Stock engine = not exciting anyways.
I haven't combined the harnesses yet.
I picked up the Goblin frame this past Saturday. The color is Illusion Orange. The fluorescent lighting actually does a decent job in showing the contrast. Radiator hoses were pulled by Adam/Lonny before I picked it up. Yeah, I'm a cheater.
I'm currently waiting for the sheet metal and fuel tank to get back from Line-X. I decided to go with a new spray technology called ultra on these pieces instead of a traditional powder coat. I think the texture looks better, but that's just me. Should end up costing around $450. Ouch!!
I will continue to update as the build progresses.
