Project LMP?
Anyone know what happened to www.projectlmp.com ??? I religously followed that project until the updates stopped and now the site is offline. Hope
all is well with the builder...anyone have any info on progress or status of the project?

Are you sure of that link? I know the car he's referring to and that link isn't it.

Been wondering the same thing
The guy is Paul Stockley in Canada. I will give him a call and see if I can find out what his status is.

Yes, just the other day I was thinking about how it had been a while since he posted.
If we are talking about the same person, then I think the last he mentioned, he was working on some seating (pink)  .
I remember he also had some killer MDF build tables/ chassis Jigs, gave me ideas on what I would do for any projects I build in the future.

Yup, different car. This car has been under construction two years and was "scheduled" to be done last Christmas.

Well I am alive and well. The project is dead, at least in its current form. I am in the process of setting up a professional race team in the Star
Mazda series (www.starmazda.com) with some friends and this will take up all my spare time for a year or two.
I am considering taking on a somewhat quicker project in the future. I may use my driveline and purchase a kit such as a turner LMP or MK GTR.
Alternatively, I may sell my stuff and build a GT40 street car.
The site is still available in its current form but my domain has expired. If anyone still wants access I can post the IP address.
Good look to everyone with their projects. I keep checking in periodically.
