Hey PMP020 i loved your car when i first saw it on Toymods!!
About the hacking, yeah, it hurt a little bit - it was fun driving around with the 3k...in a slow kind of way. I did consider keeping this stock for my fiancee but if we have babies i couldn't justify having two coupes plus a van plus another car for carting kids around in.
I got the twin cam motor in the green car today.
I haven't got the gearbox crossmember hooked up to the gearbox yet, which is why the picture shows the motor at that crazy angle.
I'm going to elongate the chassis rail holes about half an inch and then drill new holes in the centre of the x-member. Is this what other people have done?
