This is lunacy, I approve! Whats gonna be the deal with registering it? Or is it going to be a track weapon?

Found your video on YouTube the other day, I love this idea! Im assuming registration will be the mx5 though as its pretty much an mx5 with a different body plonked on top. You might need to have an inspection I imagine.
Having owned an mx5 I know they are great fun! Especially with a welded diff :D

That project looks cool! Do the 13 inch wheels fit with the original brakes from the MX5?

Crazy project reminds of Matt Greens awd conversion. Would like to know what happened to this.
