This chap decided to take his mind off his divorce by undertaking a small project, what followed was mental and involved a Honda Civic and a Corvette LS1.

This is one of my all time favorite builds just for the sheer mentalism of it and thought you lot may like it.

Check it:

Anyone who reads this (and it should be read) will see that the whole thing cost less than £2000 so sometimes it's just a case of knowing how and doing it yourself.

This makes me think I can't wait to see the B16b in the carbon'd saxo.

great find and mental project but the thread could do with a little tidy up to make it a bit easier to look through :geek: ie go from start to finish rather than back an forth two or three times

That's impressive, wish the posts were a bit more structured and with a description so I could tell what was going on.

Although, personally I'd of preferred to rebuild the corvette.. but then, that wouldn't be modding, I wouldn't care, but as a technical achievement, nowhere near as impressive, just a restoration.
