I built this as my tribute to the Group B rally cars built by Autodelta for Alfa Romeo. I used a "Rusty Sprint for Spares" e Bay buy as the basis then put virtually the entire front end of a 164 V6 Alfa into the back of the Sprint. Thus my car has a transverse 24 valve engine but the original 6C had a 2.5 V6 longitudinal mount engine with a ZF gearbox and differential.   |

As requested - some build pics But first the inspiration  Then buy a rusty Sprint  Then cut a big hole where the back seat was  |

|
Then extract a suitable engine and gearbox from a large Alfa 164 saloon  Carefully place it into the hole (there is also a lot of fiddling, measuring, checking etc!  Add more reinforcement and work out a suitable gearchange  |

Then create what Alfa described as a "Thermoacoustic barrier" to fit behind the seats - A Fiat panda hatch slightly modified - with the rear parcel shelf and speakers from the 164.....  Rear arches "splayed" and built round MGB lower wing repair sections. Rear steel louvres made and fixed to hatch surround for engine cooling.  |

But first the inspiration I can see why that would inspire you. ;D That looks like a serious amount of work to build up  |

Then do Lots more work to get the fuel system, water system, electrical system, braking system, suspension system and instruments working. Then get the bodywork repairs done and spray prep finished - then off to the sprayer and finally it looks and goes!  |

This is without a single doubt one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my life. And I once saw a Rasta skating uphill on an electric skateboard, which was pretty freakin' cool.
I'm giving this an early nod for car of the year 2013 I reckon!
