Having been in Minis in the height of UK summers I can assure you that they're not fun so I respect this effort to make the thing more comfortable.

Also he went through all that effort of making the blower assembly already, can't let that go to waste by not having AC

I've seen this photo a hundred times but I still don't understand how that center post pivots or folds to lower the glass. Is it actually a functioning vehicle or purely a piece of art?

There's a few angles of how the door pivots around in this video here; the door floats on a funky offset hinge, separate from the console attached to the floorboard that the glass-prop-post folds down into. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEDEDDqRNyQ&t=105s

I like this option. edit: It's a funny car, so he actually sits at the very rear, protruding from the top. You can't see the driver's cage due to the angle. Dud who built it was insane - that was his *first* Allison-powered drag car: https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2012/01/18/rip-jim-lytle-a-power-crazed-genius/ Some of his other rides:   Also found this:

 Did someone make that hatch or is it something super rare like the small window one? Having ridden in the Fbody well on more than one occasion when I was younger and more flexible that hatch would have been great for head room and visibility in that situation. Even without that hatch the well still beat riding bitch in a third gen.

I need a GTV6.  Edit: VVV: Didn't pay that much attention as my thoughts instantly went to dreaming about GTV6 ownership. Absolutely love the Alfetta GTV look, and the busso is really the engine to go for. My "affordable classic dream car". MrOnBicycle fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Nov 7, 2018 |

That one is a Turbodelta (Edit: stating the obvious. It says "Turbodelta" on the sill).

^ I'd seen a few photos of that but the internet never followed up with others. I love it. In other news I think I've found the dream car for my 9yr old self... Alfa Romeo P33 Cuneo from 1971.

I've got a folder full, because I want to build one, and make it better (first: a working tailgate.) Earl used to post in the FC picture thread on RX7Club, and had his own thread on the car. He's got a FD dressed up like Toretto's red FD from FnF now. Which he still drifts. quote:In other news I think I've found the dream car for my 9yr old self... Alfa Romeo P33 Cuneo from 1971.

NoWake posted:Spoiler tags because I want you all to have the same experience I just did: On one hand, I like the concept, and if I had "buy expensive stupid things because they make me laugh" money, I'd get one. On the other, hacking large chunks out of a unibody car is usually a bad idea. $3600 for the kit is actually better than I was expecting though, especially since it supposedly has "everything you need but the donor car". boxen fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Nov 8, 2018 |
