[chrisdhyslop]

they are full fibreglass shell but they are heavily reinforced so not as light as u would expect but plenty strong. the first white one in the background is stripd down and the shell is now tuktuks on here and the other white one with the zeemax kit is my brothers. thanks for the comment

Cool, never seen one of those before, what engine do you have in it? It looks a bit like a clubman, but the back is just something else.


Good luck with it, whats your plans?

[chrisdhyslop]

the phoenix is based on a clubman estate but not lol.

it has a 1275 carb cooper engine and runin on tens.

for now its get it on the road
will have three recliners in it with harness' and be black inside

the plan ones its on the road is to build up a subby with vtec and kad brakes etc togo into it next year sumtime.

but i plan to keep it on tens.
