That’s lovely. Did you see the one Misfit garage did with the supercharged V8 in? That was a tyre shredding machine.  |

That's the nuts! A proper wolf in sheeps clothing. Dispite all of the awesome in that car my favourite feature has to be the chain-driven window winder to clear the roll cage. It should be a feature in ALL cars just because.

That's brilliant, how long did it take to build. Be great to see some more detail.

Well,i first had the spaceframe fitted in 2000,but got side tracked with superbikes,and sierra Cosworths for the next 15 years,so the car got a bit forgotten,but always on my mind.So I decided to build the car in 2015,sold my bikes and cosworth and got stuck in.So from rolling bare shell,with no inner bulkheads,took about 2 years.i do have full build pictures so will put some more pictures up

Very cool!
Fit some rear-facing cameras so you can capture the look of astonishment on the faces of modern sports car drivers when you leave them standing in a cloud of tyre smoke at the traffic lights.

Nice looking build. I like the way you've done away with the separate sill trims and combined them into the door bottoms.
Interesting to note, you also kept the Minor's bonnet rubber buffers, attached to the space frame!
What steering rack did you fit?

Hi,nice one for noticing the door bottoms and bonnet stops😁,using a escort mk2 steering rack,front hubs are Capri adapted to take a wishbone rather than strut
