a kv6!!! ohhh no way! haha!

that would overheat in no time with the amount of abuse!

yeah is sure a x25xe there not bad motors, there fuel efficient and fairly powerfull. so in a car that weighs nothing it will be speedy and fuel efficient !

we dont need eco cars we need powerfull kit cars!

Guten Tag!

haven't taken many pictures lately but here's one of my cardboard templates!

as far as chassis goes its pretty much nearly done! just need brake tabs welded on and the steering support and walla! a running engine will be going in by the end of the month! and a new project has started "my fathers" we will be fitting a rover v8 to his Vaux Omega :P 4.6 litre . so its my job to force it to fit or whatever :-)
