not so match money, about 3000d so far. I got the engine as payment for a Work I did. The most expensive part I'm missing is the gearbox. I'm buying one in your country , 50% cheaper.

That's still a lot of progress in a short amount of time. Looks good! Are you wanting your tires to tuck under the fenders?

Yes it would look good to have the wheels hidden under the fenders. I think I have to make them 2" wider than stock. this week I don't have time to be in the garage, WORK WORK always work.

What method will you use to widen the fenders?

I will cut and weld them, I think. I don't like the plastic ones.

I'm curious cause, I'm sure I'll have to widen mine as well. I've seen, on the web, people extend them where they bolt up using bondo. I was also thinking you cut then down the middle and add some extra sheet metal?

I bolt them in place, and then I cut them as close to the bolts I can. then weld them together with some metal between.
