Was gonna say the same as above. This isn't about practicality - if it was it would be a road legal car.
All about showing what can be done and having some fun whilst doing it. I mean fck me the conversations we have down the workshop about building stuff come in way more radical than this. Current obsession is building a tubular frame and dropping a mk3 body on and running a rover v8 to the back wheels. We could do it, but it wouldn't be practical......
