The sheer effort and outstanding ability this guy has put into his project certainly gets my respect.
Just wish I had the talent and motivation to do something like this...

I'm not overly keen on how the finished article looks, Just impressed by the fact that he knuckled down and did it.
Awesome

Bloody awesome and I love his comment:

"the car will be always dirty. I'm not a big fan of washing my car every day, if I wash it twice in the summer, I will be proud of myself."

Not only genius but practical too

You've got to admire the builders skill. I for one don't have that talent and only wish i did. Whatever anyone thinks about it you just wouldn't say no and I bet it's a lot of fun to drive.

There are a few guys doing similar projects to cars like my Daihatsu. There is already and Evo powered one, and now someone is doing a Subaru conversion with full 4wd.

I fancy going the other way and putting my engine into a Mini, I know it fits and there is even a subframe available that would bolt straight in with no modifications.

Now that sounds like fun Matt.

That mini looks about the best thing i've seen in ages. What a lovely clean and neat installation. I bet it'll be bonkers on track!! 160 odd bhp and bugger all weight!!

The perfect autotest car

nicely done, but its hardly a civic is it..............in reality its a cut and shut Subaru as even the trim/dash is Subaru............
