great project! nice engine, side exhaust is great!

but i dont like the lines of the car, the arches dont fit the body, and those wheels are way to big. in my opinion you should fit some smaller wheels and lower it alot!

respect for the time invested!

thanks joey

whats with the blabla thing? it is my opinion, as a product designer i know that if you like a model or not is an opinion, but it also matters if a line or rounding or parts which belong together are right or not.

like i said IMHO. don't take it on defense, you like it, right?

im with you mate, wicked choice of engine though, very nicely finished spotted it at driftworks.

Micky a new v8 is on the block and managed to squeeze a v8 in there without spaceframing the front. Clever eh?

Well -Guilty as charged! - I certainly do have a softspot for V8s!

On another tread we did the Prescott hillclimb earlier this month in "Butch"

Not surprisingly sounds very similar to your wonderful beast as they both have the best engine in existance IMO!

Yeah buddy like I said great bit of workmanship there and the choice of engine is good too, ls v8's are nowhere near as wide as BMW v8's so your choice of v8 makes more logical sense with reguards to fitment, I just wanted to keep the heart of my car BMW, only disadvantages of an ls over M60 is that your engine is mounted further forward right? I've mounted mine 6inches further back which has helped the handling massively, are ls engines aluminium blocks or cast? I'm in no way slating your car mate as if I didn't like it I just wouldn't say anything, just seems we has different styling tastes when it comes to cars obviously so please don't be offended, by the way buddy my name is misky who do you know at driftworks then mate? Kam and dan are good friends of mine nd they told me your car was up there, soon as they said e21 wide arches and ls powered I knew exactly who they meant lol
