Not quite the same but I know where there's a fairly solid Rover P5 3 litre with a ruined engine, got so many evil ideas about buying it and lobbing a big diesel out of a van in it. Also got pretty easy access to a 2.8TD Iveco...

Ive never been a fan of "rat" cars, but I watched that "Sin City motors" (I think). The garage was called "Welderup" if thats the same show.
They did a car for the salt flats and looked the tits! Quite keen on these now, but as said, would never be able to build a decent one in this country

Pretty cool before and after:
[attachment=16386] Also, sin city motors was just on if anyone missed it. This time a work horse of a truck with an old school can swap. All in the detail, and a shifter grant would be jealous of. ![[Image: sig002_zpscb892e18.jpg]](http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb46/Silent_Rider-TP/car/sig002_zpscb892e18.jpg)

I'd love to build one, but not in the UK
Too many mot rules in the way to build something truly mental (What's the point of a ratrod that isn't road legal) and American parts are too hard to come by/expensive.

Theres some really cool bases around with separate chassis's and plenty of cheap V8s in the scrap yards. Everything in between is just ingenuity.

I guess something like an old jag could be pretty cool

I still reckon a Transit or london taxi chassis could be a good base with a reproduction body.

London taxi is half way there tbh.. and has a derv engine do bring on the coal and turbo sticking above bonnet.. have to make some sort of Pyrex bonnet to put up with head and keep it legal though?

I seem to remember them being 12mm pumps too. THe old ones even have a separate rad cowling. Nice skinny front wheels with shiny hub caps too. |
