project stuka Options

[paroxysm]

just thought I'd better start a thread for a project that I've been working on for about 9 years.
had a car in 99 i had done up fine

but one day the passenger door would not open,and said hey how about an engine swap, bought a 2.2 six and then realized 125hp was not enough, so a v8 became my goal. Destiny had other plans.

The car I had built for my wife was finished off by an eager srt4 neon

I was the driver had my leg broken in 3 places, but I lived.

mocking up stage. I replaced the bondo slante nose look with fiberglass fenders

now that 90% of the bodywork was done it was time to get the car to actually run, and just this last weekend I did get it running. The reason for calling it a stuka is the lysholm charger sounds like an air raid siren. I will post up a vid of it running when i get a chance.

Right now its the 901 with an adapter from kennedy, but I've been gathering the parts to swap in a tranny from a b5 1.8t fwd passat or audi a4. Then use the shift linkage from the 2.5 boxster.

drove the car today and I'm waiting for new bushing to take out some of this slop. Right now it's a side shifter with hybrid tail shifter linkage all new bushings but the one the rod runs through.

Its at my brothers shop, but will be coming to my garage thursday. I hope the neighbors will tolerate the noise, Ive already been warned about not cutting my grass enough this should be some nice revenge. My wife is back from Toronto so I now will have use of the video camera, hope to make a vid real soon.
