Hell of a project. Looked through all of the pages, sure looks to become a beast! Might even save the page to see how he progresses images/smilies/biggrin.gif Going to be awesome when he gets to working on the motor.

At first I thought that it was going to be the Nissan's motor going in. But wow!

At first I thought it was just an engine swap (apparently, anybody and their grandmother can do one of those these days), but it's a Minor body on the SX chassis. That's totally rad. images/smilies/thumbup.gif

Likewise. Was gonna say he should keep the long hood, and just chop the roof...that would look awesome! A British-Japanese hotrod! Still, he wouldn't have had to modify the wheelbase on the 200 if he kept the length...
