This was a curb side kit, so i opened up the hood, built an engine bay, gutted all the molded floor pan from the chassis and boxed the chassis. The engine is a BMW DOHC 4cyl. and probably slightly de-tuned.. Fabricated the exhaust from solder too. "1976 BMW M12/7 F1 engine. The block is a 1,5L M10, as used in the 1500, and of the same design as the 2,0L in the 2002, with a bespoke DOHC head design. 1380HP in max tune. 27 hours between refreshes. Don't put this in your daily driver. "" I like the skyline front nose, so i made one from a GTX grill, which i narrowed, and flipped upside down, then extended the hood to match. I also removed the bumpers and opened up the front vents and put mesh behind them. ( cheers Lowlife) Wheels are Aoshima 14" Star Sharks. Not my best work, but not a real good kit either..

I like it, the engine looks right at home and the wheels really suit the body style. At least you finished yours, mine got stuck when i couldn't figure out narrowing the xj220 rear suspension

Well done Dale, looks tough. I wouldn't mind taking it for a spin in the mountains.

It would give the usual winners a run i reckon, until the tyres were done, which would probably happen by the end of the first day..

I love it Dale!! There is sooooo many builds that I need to catch up on!?! I kinda floated away from the hobby, and the forums for a while I guess!?!?
