I wanna see them chewed up in about 2 seconds flat once the engine's running. Fronts through wheelspin, rears by sliding.
On a racetrack, naturally (can't have you doing it on a public road)! :)

geez dom thats real depressing seeing your wabit looking like that. Take a couple of days off mate and get stuck into her, once the bug bites you'll have it done in no time
How do cabs have a hatch/boot? This only just occurred to me!
Awesome project man, can't wait to see this hit the road.
