]after looking at all the fun you guys are having, ive decided to start my build diary, ill try and update as much a possible with pictures. well i started in feb with a 1989 shell, my biggest aim was to make the car look like a mk1 and no extended front ,I was going to use a vauxhall 2.0 red top but bad reviews of the transfer box, I decided to go honda (the power of dreams) i was goin to use a b20 but my uncle had a 2.4 accord ivtec so that was the plan, but first i had lots of rust to contend with. I have put all pics on photobucket for you all to see.






















hope you ll like please tell me what you think

Wow that's shaping up to be a very impressive build, I love your work on the radius arms. What kind of power do those 2.4 lumps kick out?

[evansisgreat]

Where do your legs go?

[peaty_34]

hi not quite sure of power but alots of the k20 tuning people r using k24 blocks with k20a2 heads so that the plan, by legs do you mean the front subframe legs that bolt to the body the will be bolted to the rollcage and sandwich the body.

No, I mean the ones that come out of your hips. Unless I've got the angle wrong isn't this the floor well?

[kmol468]

I'm very impressed, I too like the rear suspension work and the effort that's going into it.
Good luck with the build and make sure you see it through

Sorry for the confusion , it will only have two seats so they will be moved backwards, the fuel tank will be on the rear seat, with a cover over it so this will be the storage as the rad will be in the boot, just to make it even more unique

Started to lift engine today , so put the car on the floor to get a better view of what needs to be done it looks very low with 4 inch ground clearance looks good though
