Mike did build mine
Looking foward to seeing this keep it up mate.......
Advice for you mate and the only way i can see you doing this, is buy a front end of a corsa, cut out the hole in your shell, lift the front end into place and weld it there making sure its level. this way you have all your mounting points for suspension engine etc and all you have to make level is the front end section.......


As for mine, i teamed up with JMA to do mine. JMA dident have time to do it (plus i dident want to just pay someone to do it) and i had all the time in the world . So we teamed up and built the car with there advice and help along the way when i was having problems as they had built 2 rear engine cars before so was good to have them when needed. As for cost its more about man hours making all the frame and making it all level. Its not a cheap thing to do, there is 700pounds worth of metal tubing in my shell. I was lucky as all man hours where done by me so all i had to do was pay for materials used.

I admire your can do attitude Mike, but jesus christ you dont half bodge things.

The manifold you made for the impreza - horrific
Your old side exit exhaust held on by jubille clips and cable ties - disaster

I cant see this working out i'm afraid. Good luck to you though.
