Are there any builds that you plan on doing or dream of doing sometime in the future? Is there a specific car that you want to just obtain and work on to your heart's content? Is there a project/build that you're working on now?

For me, first I'd like to build a Civic Si EP3, with a small turbo and aftermarket cooling system with aftermarket springs and vented rotor brakes.

Also on my list includes an Infiniti G35 as it runs on the Nissan Z-car platform and engine, so it should be a fun ride to tune.

As well as a Mazdaspeed 3 with a bigger turbo swap and various other small adjustments including bore and stroke,

And a Nissan/Datsun 240Z with an RB26 engine swap and a nice midnight blue paint job to replicate the Devil-Z from Wangan Midnight.

Those aforementioned cars are a small part of the list of cars I want to build when I get my job and enough money for each build.
Seventeen and strung out on confusion,
Seventeen and coming clean for the first time,
no mom and dad will never understand,
what's happening to me.

Money or time is sure to be an issue, but when I can find enough of both I want to get another Triumph Spitfire to restore. If money becomes no object though, I would love to get a Jaguar Type E to work on with my father. I don't know how many more years I will get to have with him and I want to show him I can still work on cars with him - father and daughter, just as much as I did as Father and son.

68 Mercury Cougar, black cherry 302 4 barrel auto. The first generation Cougar is my favourite American car, great looks and performance, sensibly sized for UK roads and parking spots and if driven carefully reasonable fuel economy.
Bristol, Jensen Interceptor, Facel Vega I'm a big fan of Euro American exotics, they're totally out of my price range.
Vauxhall Cresta PC, I had one for 2 years and it was comfortable and ultra reliable.
Ford Zephyr 6 Mark 4, had this for a year and again it was comfortable and ultra reliable.
Holden/Vauxhall Monaro I like muscle cars with the steering wheel on the proper side.
Ford Falcon as above
Aussie Valiant or Charger as above

Maybe supercharger upgrades on a jaguar XKR when I have the time and inclination... Other things rather pressing at the moment ::-)

I am a bit of a gear head, and I am the type who would make everything she touches fast if she had the money (and skills/time). I currently drive an EM2 civic, which is in the shop getting the recalled airbag replaced. but if I where to do a build on that, I would so a transmission swap (to 5/6 speed instead of auto and new gears), dump a J35A in it, and then just play with the suspension and breaks until it grips the way I would want it to.(probably wont do this build, but if i got the chance with another EM2, I know what I would be doing).
however for dream builds, I pretty much ave one that I will make happen eventually. MX-5 with a turbo rotay motor, new gears on the 6 speed housing, and new suspenssion, slotted pads and rotors, and all kinds of stuff to bassicly make it crazy run what you brung car.

I would just like to be able to finish the three wheeler cyclecar I've had up on sawhorses for the past two years.  Most of you would think it was pretty boring, - wooden chassis, quarter elliptic leaf springs, vintage iron barrelled two stroke engine and 3 speed motorcycle type gearbox, - but that's the kind of thing that floats my boat.

Don't think it's going to happen though as it's not safe for me to work with tools at the moment due to illness.
