cant tell you all the plans but its gonna be

LET engine
proper suspension and brake setup
rollcage
and a rat rod theme

I know it sounds odd but.. well im odd

kinda taking inspiration from things like this.. (although a corsa will never be quite as cool)





i have a load of rat rod pics at home and at work and keep thinking of different ideas for the look of the car... i will be a little "unique" from the normal LET corsa but i want something that looks cool as well as goes like a rocket

Its a beast!! although i wasnt impressed with 80% of people on the road today, most of them wanted to kill us..

However the car drove surpisingly well...

Still think we should call it 'Rodimus Prime'
