agreed. put the seating arangement back to standed and would certainly turn some heads if thats what your into. how much are a set of 22" wheels and tyres worth?

One problem with that car - the steering.
Engine is too long and low to fit a rack in the standard position.

brakes could be worth a few pennys! if you got this for about £500 i reckon youd see a tidy return

I thought ultimate velocity was a pretty able company, do you think was just too much for them?

i dont reckon it was, i think they just lost all interest in it and were thinkin of the negative feedback they got about it for all those years and finally thought of the money it was gonna cost to finish (an hour they spend on it is losing 20 odd quid or wotever they charge that they could have been working on a customers cars) and just thought fuck it, lets get rid..
plus to be honest there were some major design flaws with the ideas, like the rwd plus central driving position etc etc etc dont think alot of it was gonna happen

It's only a car, just metal and plastic. Anything is possible and if they would have accepted my offer then I would have finished it off. I would love to make a roofless pick-up with it, perfectly plausable idea too.... Would be sweet
