Hi!
I was waiting for when the engine was in and under the bonnet before putting up a build thread, but that may take some time, so . . . .
WARNING: I love low. I love negative camber. I like big/wide wheels. If you don't, you may not appreciate this thread.

This is how I first saw it on Ebay -    - with the ultimate plan of slamming it as low as possible, with as wide wheels as possible, and still being able to drive it. Details to follow ... |

I think they are going to love it as well. That's genius.

That kind of camber is for my little 51+ year old mind a bit harder to follow but the rest
10 out of 10!!
I really like this forum, it's a home for all.
I am looking forward to the next installment!

Thanks all for your great comments, I appreciate them all !!
I've been reading other people's threads for years on here and its my 'go-to' for awesome car/van builds, so wanted to share my GT6 with people who would get a smile from it ☺
I'll get some more pics loaded up hopefully tomorrow and some details on work done so far; wheels, suspension etc..

The thought of riding in this on the motorway is simultaneously terrifying and exhilarating, especially given how vulnerable one feels riding in a standard ride height one. One thing you won't need to worry about is the positive camber these are renowned for when cornering hard!

Custom Air ride kit or riser cups would make this possible.

This is looking fab, would love to see it with ultra clean lines and some subtle details added eg. Fiat barchetta or MX5 door handles.
