Found my next project

This is great. Jeremy, see what you can do once you get a welder LOL. If I had tons of play time I would do something like this. The only bad deal *from personal experience* is that he should wait until the oil is done draining past the rings before starting again. It is hard on the rods.

poor front struts :P that car with that bar off, would be wicked!

Like take a four door golf (so you have short front doors) and take the hatch right up to behind the seats. Then lower it a tad and put a really good suspension in it. You could out handle a mini downtown NY :P

Yes Lucas, my plans are actually a 5hp snow-blower engine on a bicycle with a belt clutch from a Polaris ATV :P

For some reason some of the pics aren't working... but one that I found:


I think it's pretty sweet and very well done!  Actually a work in progress so I guess it's not "done" yet...
