Hi everyone I'm Dan  , I thought id share my little project with you all. all the fab work is done by me.
So where to start basically i started with a 1978 mk1 fiesta 950 L and I'm squeezing the engine, gearbox and all the running gear out of a Volvo 940 2.3 hpt. i could go on for hours about what ive done so far but ill just let you look at the pictures for now
hope you like it

I knew this was going to be good at the second picture !
My 940 goes pretty well for a big car but this is going to be mad. What are you planning to do with the exterior ? Any chance you could use FWD Volvo steels on there to tuck the wheels in or will you go for a nice set of Xpack arches ?
