It's been a while since I've shown my face on here, my roadster plans fell by the wayside when I got distracted by a cute 21yr old.
After a wonderful 6 month affair, a looming MOT and a bit of investigation has shown the 21yr old to be very very rusty and economically not worth saving - the repair panels alone are worth more than the car.
The 21yr old in question is a 1987 MR2 mk1 1.6. My question is, with a bit of ingenuity could I turn the roadster chassis into a midengine one using the MR2 mechicals?
Are there likely to be any pitfalls in doing this? Would it simply be a case of lengthening the rear end to accomodate the engine? Or would it be better to build something from scratch based on the MR2 wheelbase?
