Now this is not my project but is the project of a member of the club i'm in.

It's got the 5.3l V12 from an XJS in it. It's on hold at the mo as there building something else but the chassis is finished. just needs the electrticals form the engine and then the roll cage and shell fitting.















I'll post some more pics up when they start work on it again.

Oof! rotten shell there!. Still, nice to see a BIIIIG engine conversion, Be interesting to see how it drives with all that weight too.

I take it this is just a chassis that you'll eventually graft a shell onto?

Keep the pics coming!

They have a clubman estate waiting to be put on the chassis. they would of used the saloon but it's to far gone and also they couldn't shut the bootlid with the radiator fans been in the way. As my mate says he's bought a 850 quid banger and is grafting a mini round it. It will be fully road legal when finished. just has to go for an SVA.

Nice to see that it's being done properly for a change & not just changing the chassis & number plates over like so many others do.

i love how V8 conversions r always covered in oil n dirt, never clean n powdercoated like zcars, lol. What wheels u looking to put on it? how many inches?

[Sam Walters]

why dont you put a fiberglass body over the top, i know more expensive but its lighter and wont rust

[panelbeaterpeter]

That is nuts. I imagine it will be pretty much undriveable though, far too much power! I had a jag v12 at one point, planned to put it in my mini but realised it was taking it a little too far! Could have spray painted or powder coated the frame in the pics rather than brush painting it.. after saying all that, I think it's awesome! Keep the pics coming!

hate to say it but hasnt the chassis been made for a saloon, with an estate having a longer wheelbase?
