Default Austin Mini / celica GT4 transplant

not sure if any of you guys have seen this but it's worth setting aside a few hours to watch, it's a couple of guys custom building a mini to take a toyota celica gt4 turbo engine and running gear. Some great fabricating skills on show, currently 12 episodes, next one due in a month or so.

I started watching this a month or two ago and can't wait for another update. They just uploaded a new video this past week.

That's nuts! I wonder if they coul take that Celica GT4 4WD engine and tranmission and transfer it into a Tiburon.

Bah! That's kiddy crap. Mid-engined Tau with Porsche G50 box like the RM460 but lighter and smaller.



God forbid i ever make the money needed to build my crazy dream cars.
