Someone over on Saxp posted this a wee while back and was claiming to have just built it and trying to take all the credit for it, even though its been around for a few years.
He never replied when questioned about it lol.

That's fucking wicked.
They should all have been built that way.

I bet people imagine it to be much better to drive than it really it.
In reality its probably only good for doing donuts in a carpark.

suspensions probably not very well thought out or designed shall I say, using old mk1/2 escort sstuff, there only good for one thing.. mk1 and 2 escorts! fair play for someone actually finishing it and not al this forum talk of I want a rwd corsa and not committing. but theres a reason why there are not a lot that are rwd....

I bet it's bundles of fun.
Must have spent a king's ransom putting it together. So much work.
I'd love to see underneath it.

The steering arms are at crazy angles, one bump and that's changing lanes! Be fun to have a go in but being such short wheel base you'd spend most of the time spinning on bends

Try finding one Jim.
And that cheaply. The last time I looked, I couldn't find a twin cam for less than a grand.
