ok then this guy is building some amazing stuff a v8 atom, a 4x4 400kg 500bhp beastie, and myriad other developments around the same concept.

Might be a rice-burner, but these are achingly cool cars. I would love to get my hands on one. It`s this guy`s determination, teaching himself along the way, despite setbacks at every turn. Eventually ending up with a great car and deserved praise. 1971 KGC10 `Hakosuka` 2000GT Skyline. 2.8 litre straight six on triple Webers...

http://bbs.rsownersclub.co.uk/showthread.php?t=256564 I would love to get my hands on one of these. A mint Rs1600i, which to be fair, are really hard to find these days.

Hopefully one day i'll have one. Its gone from this - To this -

Still a work-in-progress, but this one has a few of us excited. http://190rev.net/forums/showthread.php?t=36547 Mercedes 190E 2.3-16 that was first Turbocharged, then... And then, he found some BBS. They had a bit of kerb damage, so... "Next I used a DA with 80 grit to knock the welds down flat and blend them into the outer edge." The kid's still going.
Got a point actually... I do come across stuff like those and almost forgot we had a dedicated thread for such projects.
