Now you know when your just sitting around doing nothing or you see a car a bit out of the ordinary and you start thinking up ideas for a project that you know will never happen, well heres the place to release those ideas from your brain.
Dream Project 1:
Fiat Panda 4x4, Fiat Uno Turbo engine, slammed, on 15in Black/Gun Metal Grey 5-Spokes and in Black with some subtle body mods.

Have we got any Photoshoppers on here that could maybe make some of these creations of the mind?

Fiat Panda 4x4, Fiat Uno Turbo engine, slammed, on 15in Black/Gun Metal Grey 5-Spokes and in Black with some subtle body mods. That's scarily similar to my idea. Panda 4x4, FUT, lowered gently, 15in mk 1 8 spoke multipla alloys, 2 tone blue over silver, 750 badge on the back and nowt else in the way of mods. Maybe get rid of the bumpers at the most. And maybe some flared wheelarch... edit: and an early style front grille- you know the asymetric one with the fiat badge on one side (not on the poorly done mspaint pic below)

Drop a Rapid, stuff a Mazda 1.3 turbo rotary in the back. Recaro seats, front only and tint the glass. ( My eldest is buying an RX7, got me thinking) ;D

I have a metallic blue C-reg Talbot Alpine 'minx' 1.6, with 30k on the clock. A good example, of a wibblepoo car. I like it though. I have also recently bought a supercharger from a Mini Cooper from the bay. My dream is to combine these two items, with the aid of home-made megasquirt EFi, and pug 406 15" steel wheels, to create a..... faster than average Talbot Alpine.

One day it may actually become reality: take the old 1300 blackline skoda favorit, slam it over some 17's with a G60 shoe-horned in. Time to show the Corsa / Escort Barry curse word how it's supposed to be done...

Lower (not slammed) stiffened suspension. Stripped out. As much of it Fibre/Carbon as possible = fast fast fast I like your idea..... it's not too dissimilar to me!!! Here's my adjustments... I dunno.... I'd probably just twin turbo a 16V engine in it, hmm, a pair of VF10's or a couple of T25's should provide adequate boost.... Microtech or similar ECU, stealth black anodised intercooler, lots of engine strengthening (ie. forged pistons and what have you) clean up the boxer's crappy flowing exhaust ports... side exit titanium exhaust, external wastegate venting back into exhaust, also plumback BOV's for that stealth effect. Have some kind of device to stop drive to the front wheels, so it can be driven in RWD. Custom coilovers, aluminium arms fabricated, fully rose-jointed, full camber/castor adjustment, dumped well and truly on gunmetal grey Volk TE37s (JDM style I know but so light, and tough looking!) running Dunlop Formula R rubber. Painted bright silver with a turquoise pearl, crabon fibre front guards, doors and hatch (all painted) and raw carbon finished (shiny resin styles) bonnet, and replica factory flares made from carbon fibre, as well as spoiler, headlight surrounds, bumpers, skirts, anything that is factory black plastic basically. Stripped interior, but finished with carbon door cards, carbon dash, Stack digital dash readout (for everything) full chrome-moly cage, extinguisher system, brace of Racetech kevlar bucket seats, OMP rally style steering wheel, 5 point harnesses, all the fruit basically.....

I have a constant stream of project buzzing around in my head but space is an issue at our new house (that and toffy nosed neighbours who don't like my old car!) Anyway, current dream is a mid 70's Audi 80 GTE two door, stripped out and running a 270 bhp 1.8 T and sat low on 13 or 14 inch HTN race wheels. God I want this so much!

Lets see, I have loads of these! Late 60s Trabant P601 Saloon. Subaru Justy three cylinder turbo'd engine, with matching running gear, suspension, brakes etc Justy based but uprated, bigger brakes and such, rally style interior (two bucket seats and not much else! ) Weller eight spoke wheels. and you have a really tasty little 4x4 Trabi. (bear in mind a Justy might not be particularly fast but a Trabi weighs curse word all, and the little three cylinder won't give the front end too much weight, so it might have a hope in hell of making it round corners.
