Are those seats the Recaro Profi?
Are they Recaro mounts bolted to the floor?

Wow, great build....can't wait to see the rest of the plans for the front end.

Yes they are Recaro profis. The driver side bolts to the mounts I welded to the floor so i can get the seat as low as possible. The pass side is bolted to the stock mounts with the goodwin mount I modded to hold the 5th point harness. Both use Sparco AL side mounts. Hey Brian what was the deal with that hood vent on NClite? was that custom or can it be replicated?

The hood vent was a one-off....but pretty sure we kept the tool in case somebody wanted us to replicate it. If I can find it we could make another if you like.

Installed edge trim on the door seals.

What is the budget for this build ?
I am just curious how long each of these steps take
I'd just to love to build something like this but have no idea how long it takes you guys . I assume I could true that time to get an idea how pong it would take me

Cost / time to put a car to rotisserie ?
Cost / time to put the stuff back together Without engine and drivetrain ?
Cost / time to put drivetrain in ?
Cost/ time to put engine in ?
new engine cost globally ?

The car looks awesome already

It all depends how wild you want to get. Fab time and labor are what are going to cost you. At the point where you are making custom parts or putting the car on a rotisserie your cost are really going to go up. I have not added it all up yet bc its not done but this isn't the first full NC build I've done. You're looking at about 60k in parts and 40k in labor. Now you could go cheaper on the dash, or ecu and junkyard brakes, diff,and axles but at this point is it really worth it?
