	Unfortunately it's not a separate chassis, so you'd end up needing an IVA. A Nissan Cabstar may be a better base as they do have a separate chassis, as well as being front engine-rear drive.

	Yeah, I've finally found a decent Transit forum and discovered this for myself. Currently on the lookout for anything suitable. I'm thinking if I pick one up cheap enough and get it into the garage then it'll be worth the cost just to learn what it's about. I'm hoping to make something that looks cool, is reliable and can be used to advertise my restaurant. We'll see!

	The old square Metrocabs have a chassis... And they're fairly cheap too! eBay item number: 302732447563

	I like that Porsche, is it the Orbitron? Here's one I saw a while back... For some reason I think it was based on a BMW Z3, but I've probably got that wrong, but whatever it is, it's pretty cool!

I personally love his Megacycle creation, though this didn't have a dome glass roof. Many of his cars were as crazy as anything Matchbox Superfast or Hot Wheels could come up with.

	I had in mind that Mysteron was blue, but I think his cars changed colour a bit through the years. My favourite of his was the Beatnik Bandit. Although Outlaw was kinda cool too He did some pretty cool stuff... Never cared much for Beatnik Bandit 2 though!
