    Yep, not sure about the body kit. Without it it would be a real sleeper.

    I knew a bloke back in England who did a similar thing with an Escort RS Turbo. Fully built chassis, tune turbo engine in the back with around 300bhp, the exhausts exiting through were the number plate used to be. It was an animal. Went like stink in a straight line but was useless in the bends. Suffered from understeer and viscous snap oversteer, was almost impossible to control. Chassis set-up is a nightmare.

    Good luck to this fella though, will be an awesome dub when its finished.

    I also knew a guy who used to have a green MK1 golf with two 16vavle engines in it... Went like stink, looked ugly as the rear end was all messed up putting in the engine, but boy that car blew away most things in it's class.

    I prefer the street sleeper or Euro look myself.

    I love power, but I don't reckon it substitues a good looking car.

    Both is best.

    MK1 euro look with a VR6 in, now that is a fantasy of mine!

    I know what you mean. I wanna build a classic looking big bumper Mk2 with a vr6 on wide BBS RS splits. Bit of a cliche now but i still love that look.
