Reliant Regal 'The Flying Pig'

Kerrrrazeeeeeeeeeee......love it :-)

b`jeeezuz !!!

;D

That's such a great arguement for this type of car, loving your work. I think it's the whole inverse snobbery thing that appeals. No big wheels, dark paint jobs and aggressive looks. Just fun without attitude

Over the years I've worked my way through to a middle of the road sized, powerful engine and it really is stuff like this that makes me question what I'm thinking? It would cost me upwards of two grand to replace my engine if I lunched it, I really need something light, small, fast and cheap in my life.

If you've got a conveyor belt going on up there, can I have the next one that falls off it? ;D

whats the engine out of

its a cbr1000f 1991 with around 130ish hp, the car has the same pcd as some seventies leyland stuff so I'm putting a disc brake up front but it had reasonable sized drums at the rear so il try these first. i do have a proper project which is a spaceframed kitten with a turbocharged 4 litre v8 and cosworth escort four wheel drive system but thats just a total money pit

ive seen too many people get consumed by a restoration ,so I'm going to do this cheap simple and quick and actually drive the bloody things!!!

the tl powered kitten van took three months to build and cost just under £1500, the thunderpig should be done in about 6 weeks and so far the donor bike and car cost £600. on top of that a prop adaptor to convert the bikes gearbox sprocket to take a propshaft is £60 and a prop will be just over £100.Add a few litres of paint and various other bits it will be road legal for under a grand, ;D cant think of a cheaper way to biuld a convertable with 0ver 300bhp/tonne

love te name thunder pig, think u should have that written on the door or somewhere

Absolutely bonkers!!! Love it! ;D

That's Brilliant

Are there any plans to improve cornering ability?
