My quest to design and build a mid-engined sports racer from scratch. It will comprise of many newly fabricated components along with repurposed parts from other vehicles such as the 2.5 Turbo engine from a Volvo 850 the running gear from Mazda Mx5 and the driveshafts from a sierra xr4x4. The body work is the only thing I have purchased and even that will be extensively modified and a complete front section made from a mould. Wish me luck.

The Start-This is the third scratch built car I have started, I am determined to see this through.
My Dad and I constructed a 12'x1700mm build table, you can see the donor Volvo engine sitting on the top. The table still needs bracing to sure it up but is pretty sturdy.
