Have we all seen this site yet?

(shaking head) Wow...

I like a lot of what he's done definitely a lot of effort.

I guess if I was to armchair quarterback it, there's only a couple things I don't like.

The 20VT will give it some kick, but my preference would be to get radical on it. He may yet, we'll have to watch his progress.

Looking at his suspension, he did some to it, but for what he's already got invested, I'd try and locate some GroupB struts and go that way. I know there's a bunch more over in Europe than there are here.

I don't like the cage at all, I think that is a major botch. It's not tight to the shell, and it's design is poor.

I don't know what the deal is with the dual batteries. If you're gonna do it, at least make them the same.

Oooh, cheaping out with Sparco's instead Recaro's?

He's obviously done an awful lot of work there, but if I did it, I'd do a few things different. I guess when it's all armchair quarterbacking, you can get away with saying that. I'm still majorly impressed though!

Either cut & paste or swap?

It almost boggle the mind. I don't know why he'd start with a bone-stock UrQ, and go in the direction he has. The work to get the car cut in two, and then pieced back together, would have scared the crap out of me. It looks pretty smooth though. It's an interesting undertaking.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's shelled out over 10k for the labor alone.

I thought I saw a bit about him taking his time to spend time with his family. If he did enough himself, might not be too bad. Although time=money too.
