Guest Woodsport Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hi chaps! first post on supranet, blame johnny G for me even being here, so in a huge effort to steal his thunder and his piddly little V6 turbo ford probe, i give you a real mans car.... Take one Mk1 Mr2, and one Audi S8 4.2 V8 (340bhp version) and 6 speed A4 TDI gearbox... Then violently throw them together... Put some electricity onto it.... Throw on some tubes... Until.... R2VDG8uwXRE Pah! i laugh at your v6 turbo gaskell! (even though we built it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is actually just enough room for seats and a proper bulkhead has been welded back in with roll cage protection running across the firewall, safe as we can be..... i think..... maybe......

Guest Woodsport Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Very nice, are you keeping the body stock? It'll make a nice sleeper. Sadly no, the engine dictates big 17x10 rear wheels for rubber, as does the porsche brake upgrade, and with big wheels i need wider arch extensions.... so she looks like this at the moment until i get round to doing the body.... A few weeks hard work will knock the bodywork out and respray it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgeer Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Good point, I didn't think of the wheels and brakes. Whats been going on with the back wheels? looks like they've had a tad of heat applied to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Woodsport Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Ah well spotted, they used to be on a BMW 7 series with 5 stud fitment, so i had the rims professionally welded up and the new 4 stud Mr2 PCD machined back in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Woodsport Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I was thinking more supra hunting Tom i know a few engineers etc and i scratch their back they scratch mine etc for bespoke stuff, the alloy welding cost about £150 for both rear rims if i remember right at a local fabrication firm, mind you he did say never again!
