	kee said: hows about a subaru justy, 4wd madness, and they are pretty small so potentially not many major adjustments Damn you! Why does everyone keep having the same ideas as me!!!!!! All my "plans" are going to be done already by the time I've even bought welder!

	bazzateer said: Rob, I've always fancied a front engined rear drive Imp with Zetec power and Sierra 5 speed. As for floor pans, well I thought about the Anglia (all the stuff for the Zetec etc is off the shelf) but it will require some cutting and shutting as the wheelbase is all wrong. Likewise the Corolla GT Coupe which I also fancied for the job. Baz hubba hubba cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=260160889958&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=016

	Rob, A quick bit of research on the web reveals: Imp wheelbase = 82" Suz Cappucino = 81.1" (very close ) Early Mazda MX5 = 89.2" Ford Anglia 105E = 90.5" Scooby Justy 4x4 = 93" Ford Escort Mk1/2 = 94.5" Suzuki is closest but the engine is a bit small, if I'm going front engine rear drive I want a larger torquier lump. The rest will all need the floorpans shortening........ Baz

	The G13B engine from a Suzuki Swift GTI will bolt on the Justys AWD 'box for a little more power, but I guess it depends how much more you want?

	Hi there. NEAT cars. My wife keeps saying 'my Grandad had one of those!'. Not sure if thats a thumbs up for me buying one........ Anyway, sure PPC were thinking about an imp on an MR2 floorpan? Seems like a pretty cool idea to me! And they're pretty small too aren't they?
