Pork Chops Posted 3January, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 3January, 2017 Well it's a dirty converted LHD import, with wide metal guards welded on. So I can do what I like with no real fear of what 'ought' to be done. So that makes it all the harder to make decisions so I'm not 100% sure yet. I have a G50 5 speed for it, so that's a start.It's all been done before but the large engine small car formula never fails. It's going to look very tough / racecar but it's a road car and will be built to be comfortable. High level concept not too far off Jeff's as it turns out, but won't be anything like it in the details.First port of call is Skunkwerks for some welding and painting. Mean time I'll try and nail down what I need to decide to get it through the first gate, which is ideally defining most of the build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
