Is that your fantasy mk1? ^^^^  :huh:

I already own my fantasy MK1 but this would make a nice addition.  :cool:

Lol.

Looks like a camaro front end on a van. Would be cool in the flesh!

Yeah I quite like the front on it... I would want to paint it a rod colour to make it work...

Had a good day today. Nipped up a mates shop to drop some money off and see his new bike he's finished then pulled a shift on the beetle. Got fed up by climbing in the back so took a door off and braced the shell some more. Then got the other heater channel out and new one bolted in. Just need to trim the bulkhead and then will tack it in, fully weld both sides, then start to channel the body. Anyway pics!

This is some project, can't wait for the end result but the build so far has been good work.

Is that a Suzuki Katana by the way? That takes me back to the mid eighties. My mate had one. Awsome bike!!

Yeah man katana gsx1100, but with Honda firestorm front end with performance machine brakes, firestorm back end and a stretched swingarm to make it look a bit chunkier/meaner.

Haha was cool to see you today! Got that other side tacked in, so on saturday will get some more panels / repair parts and crack on with them.

After you went we took a quick drive round the yard in that RX7. Didn't even get the turbos to engage before we ran out of room.
