	Just saw this and thought it was genius.. You have one of these : You see that its the same shape as this : So that means you can build this : Anyone got any other examples.. or better yet, potential examples....

	Hmm sort of.. this: and this: trouble is I'm not sure id like to lose the 4wd capability of the Subaru with lowering it cos its a damn useful tool at times- I need another to play with. Maybe I need to sell the Cortina and get more MV's

	Fiat Dino Isuzu 117 = I'm sure a Dino would be easier/cheaper to get ... but you'd be more likely to be hung drawn and quartered for doing it
