	So now we are in Buissness! We bought the Escort Wagon yesterday evening and got a sedan as well and a couple of engines and a lot of parts to. Price was 150-160 Punds! Plane is to keep the costs down to around 400 Pund. So we planing to sell the other car and most of the parts to finance this super low budget Gasser. here is some pics from when we picked up the cars yesterday! The Sedan The Escort Inside and under a roof for the first time in many many years And here is the Doner car! And this is whats happend today (bad cellphone pic)

	Just about perfect. I would go for skinny spindle-mounted front wheels. Delete the glass. Wear a pesticide face kit, and put the seat in the center rear. Have him photoshop in a nice cage, too. Preferably a driver-centric "pod nest" style, very period. The doghouse has to be pinned on, or tilt off forwards of course. Use decals for lights, less wiring. Nice projekt!!!

	Here are some picture updates! Have made wheelwell openings, replaced the frame with a more healty and thicker frame, removed the rear axle and welded a crossmember for the front axle. Have also welded all the rust in the floorpans so now its not much rust welding left.
