Awesome!! I've always wanted to build one of them. Came close a couple of years ago but didn't have any garage space to build it.

Well said, I think it's missing a few things yet, like a roll bar and maybe some kind of re-inforcing. Looks good though

I visited the PRB place where they build these things up to a turn key car out the back of Chullora. They also build these things with frames made of honeycomb composite materials that are glued together into a frame to bolt all the hardware onto. the frames are lighter than the steel tube frames and also much stiffer....
One getting built was powered by the 180kw S2000 engine....

Was taken for a ride in a clubman once.....effing loved it.
Wind in your face, feeling every ripple in the road through your **** thats only about 3 inches off the road, ears full of noise and goes like stink...plus easy to work on - just grab a stool, sit down next the front wheel and start working on it.. One day I'll grab a PRB kit and just do it but might have to get the 66 Mustang out of my system first.... |
