one of these!

....but it's not in a Silvia, it's in one of these.....

I've also got another one that I'm thinking of putting in my '86 Audi coupe. Right now it's fitted with an engine that's so big it has to be mounted on it's side so the bonnet can shut and only produces 115bhp. 'Vorsprung durch sheisse'.... as they say in Germany.

Anyways.... looking forward to picking up a few tips and pointers from you guys so as I can get the best out of them.

hi is your car in the picture a hillman hunter coupe . cheers

Yep.... was marketed as a Sunbeam Rapier but was designed on the same floor pan and used the same engine and transmission as the Hunter. I've got another one that I'm customising.

Gives you an idea of the changes but then I decided to re-radius the rear windows and so this.....

Since this pic was taken I've redecked the boot lid to match the remodelled rear wings like this.....

Finished the boot lid a few months back but can't get the car out to take the pics cos it's blocked in at the moment.

Too many cars!!
