I certainly hope so :)
Most of it will be new to me, so it's also a bit of a learning process along the way. But I expect it to take a least a year. Hoping to be ready for WBVC 2019 :)

I know the lj70 axles are probably on the small side for the v8 engine, but it's what I have. Can always upgrade to patrol axles later :)

And yet you felt compelled to write that, instead of just deleting the original post? ;)

Believe me, if I had a v8 hiding in the corner of the shed I wouldn't let it take me a year to get it up and running in Ermintrude. V8 rocks!

The engine is not yet on the shelf, only the axles. But working on getting the engine within a month or so :)

Being serious, I'm glad that you will still be on the forum. I appreciate the experienced input you have provided. Like Dave, I am looking forward to seeing how all those pieces you listed go together. Should be an interesting build.

Going back to less serious, I must admit I have a vision in my mind of you eventually starting the beast you create and (in your best young Frankenstein voice) yelling IT'S ALIIIIVE!

I started out with nothing & still have most of it left

Thank you :)

I'll do what I can to take some pics from time to time.
First of I'll be sourcing some more parts. When most of the crucial bits are found I'll try to figure out what kind of vehicle I want. I really like the look and simplicity of the old ORA Jimny Assassin. But also not sure it's the way to for week long events in Croatia and such, with roadbook. So could end up with something a bit more like a tray back.
