My Lotus Metro Truck

[triggerdarr]

Thought I would post up my other project which is diverting my money from the clio

been working on this for a while in my spare time although ive lost my workshop space for a few months. Hoping to crack on with it when its out of the container its currently sat in.

 

[david hodson]

Thats one mad project
why the lotus bit , does it have a k series engine?

 

[Dm_26]

This has so much potential.

Can't wait to see the finished product

 

[Alastair.]

this will look smart if done properly

 

[alanc1000]

I need to get a metro for lulz at some point, i want a B reg in blue.

 

[Whiteley]

That's cool as f*ck!

 

[Daniel]

This is now my favourite project on the internet!!

Awesome!

 

[Dafthead]

Knows Danny boy!!

 

[Bren Rogers]

Can words describe how awesome that is?

 

[Jason_E]

I really don't know what to make of this. LOL!

 

[marinemackay2003]

[E11OOT]

[drhowser]

this is going to be one epic machine IF done correctly, but your on the right tracks bud, keep it up:approve:

 

[triggerdarr]

At the minute the its fitted with the 1.8 k series, which im planning on turboing im still considering weather to fit the engine in the rear and make it rear wheel drive

Its also fitted with 304mm MGTF Trophy, AP racing 4 pots, im gutted that i can't work on it at the minute, so ill be putting in overtime when its in the workshop

It will be 100% road legal, although ill probably use it more in the summer as ive ripped out the heaters and anything else considered a luxury

 

[Alex H]

Absolutely love this.

 

[triggerdarr]

 

[Daniel]

Keep it FWD!

 

[mx1_champ]

that is f**king ace !!!

 

[drhowser]

Keep it FWD!

I used to think you were ok.

 

[drhowser]

It reminds me of this actually.

 

[Daniel]

I used to think you were ok.

Well i've never liked you....

I just prefer the oem+ look tbh. Making stuff RWD thats been built as a FWD just doesn't float my boat i'm afraid.

I'll get my coat...

 

[theduck]

This will be cool as f**k!

Quite..

 

[triggerdarr]

Im considering keeping it FWD for the minute just because it will be easier to finish, then who knows might put an engine in the rear and make it 4wd lol

The other pick-up i saw which id love it this one

 

[SamP]

Mmm, Turbo'ing the K is a series of hurdles and minefields. I wish you luck speaking from experience here.

 

[*Badger*]

Mint! Will be keeping an eye on this thread fo-sho!

 

[fUbAr]

Amazing.

 

[Jason_E]

Keep it FWD!

xx

 

[Daz.]

This has the potential to be awesome!

 

[danzel]

this is mental haha!

kinda like that guy on rat-look.com who did it to his cinquecento lelelel

 

[mat-nos]

get that rwd, would be an awesome little skidder....
looking forward to updates ;-)

 

[Ian_182]

Nice little project.Looks good so far...

 

[Jewson172]

Great little side project and it looks ace!

 

[syko6288]

Stick a v-tec in it

 

[Triki]

Dont listen to Daniel, make it Rwd !!

MGF/TF subframe in the rear, Bob's your Auntie. Dont bother with a turbo, way too much hassle. N/A k much better imo.

Mainly owing to the fact they like to go pop in their N/A state, let alone with a blower bolted to it!

This is a thread filled with potential awesome WIN.
