[stevo172-RWD]

Iv Been asked about fabricating the basic rear engine concept for someone!
Just cut out the rear and fit a front subframe into the rear .

 

[stevo172-RWD]

Never again lol

 

[SharkyUK]

Well done mate, and fair play to you!

 

[Martin_172]

Fantastic, I remember this build starting when I had not long got my 172, because it was my first fast car and first car that wasn't a banger, and I remember thinking it was fast enough and how could you start cutting up such an expensive car lol!!! ive since had about 10 RS Clios!

excellent to see it finished, many people never finish such extreme projects! hope to see it in the flesh at one of the shows!
