A bit of an update I haven't done much with the car for a while, mostly just grinding and cutting out the rot!
I will have another update coming soon which will include the construction of the majority of the roll cage and all the rust will be replaced with new shiny metal!

The drivers floor after all the rot has been cut out

The new floor roughly cut to size

You've forgot the img tags off the pictures, on photobucket if you hover over the picture and then click on the IMG code it will copy the link, then just paste that in.

As ye all know, the title of my build is ''Rwd Gsxr 1000 Mini'' that is no longer correct!! ''
its correct title will now be ''RWD 1JZ SINGLE TURBO MINI''
and for the people that are not too sure what engine this is, its a 2.5l straight 6 out of a Toyota Soarer!!!
And yes it does fit but JUST, it will be a tight fit!
i will be starting a new build in the ''others'' section of ''engine conversations'' so feel free to have a look at that!
i will hopefully have the engine at the end of January so i wont have much up until then!

thanks, liam.

What was the rationale behind that decision?
