I hadn't seen it, but I had heard the same guys was building one with a (I think) 1.8tsi engine.

He's clearly mad :lol:
 
Yep 1.8 450bhp and 4WD

:lol:

One of my mates tried to do something similar thing back in the early 90's.

Vauxhall Nova with the engine and running gear from a Saphire Cosworth. Unfortunately he never really got it handling properly, but it was hilariously fast in a straight line.
 
I hammered the '61 DeSoto pretty hard elsewhere and was looking for a nice shot of a standard '60 to compensate when I found this one. Lowered just a tad, good tire/wheel ratio, and the right sort of spoke count.

And that gorgeous front end was left alone.
 
I never knew I needed this until now but I need it.

Probably the meatiest rears I've seen on a T3 intended for the street. It's difficult to go big on these cars--Ghias as well--without it looking really odd, but someone surely managed. They appear to be something along the lines of a 195/70 or a 215/65. Hard to go wrong with Fuchs as well, even if they're getting to be like TE37s and BBS RSes.
