Alot of people are doing these on the net and they are very useful when building.
Can we start a list of all the ones we know of? i will start with mine

Mods any chance of making this a sticky?

I'm in the middle of designing a web site for this! http://www.mykitcarblog.com/ is what it's meant to be. I started based on one of the earlier discussions on here; was going to announce it when I finished it (looks like I'll have to now ).

My builds:

http://karma.tribbeck.com/ (RW Karma rebuild)
http://locust.tribbeck.com/ (JC Locust rebuild)
http://aeon.tribbeck.com/ (Aeon GT3 build)

I wrote two build diaries. The first is about the build of my Westfield SEiW with a Ford 2l Zetec engine. It can be found here.

Currently I am building a GTM Libra with an Audi 1.8 20VT engine. Build diary here. Mt website features two webcams where you can follow the progress. When you are really quick you can see me writing this message.

Both websites are in Dutch, but the pictures tell the story.

So does that make it Double Dutch then?

The best are the self designed cars.
DP cars
Meerkat
La Bala

Perhaps not relevent to most builders though, but very interesting all the same.

[Vindi_andy]

not exactly a diary but follows build progres so I suppose you call it a diary

Not much detail but your welcome to look

I'm going a bit stir crazy waiting to get the Westie, and reading these don't help!

Agree they are really interesting, but also agree that maybe they're not as useful to others making the same car.

If anyone is interested my Westfield Megabusa Build Diary is here:

We picked up the kit on Saturday and have already done all of the panelling, so have to update it this evening.

It's been mentioned before (a few years back!) but this Westfield Megabird build site is still live...... and it has the coolest time-lapse video of the build!

Thanks awfully
Unforunately it looks like the full time-lapse will never happen as the images have been lost
