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
(IMG:http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m257/pparoxysm/Img00010.jpg)
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.

out came the motor

in came the new motor, a g60 lysholm
(IMG:http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m257/pparoxysm/coolerhole.jpg)
but where to put the intercooler?
(IMG:http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m257/pparoxysm/Dec2007-Apr2008110.jpg)
might aswell go wide
(IMG:http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m257/pparoxysm/n628350769_1398620_7398.jpg)
mocking up stage. I replaced the bondo slante nose look with fiberglass fenders
(IMG:http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m257/pparoxysm/sale253.jpg)
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.
