A car with a good engine, no roof and minimal bodywork, what will they think of next?  .
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Absolutely.. Looks like they're trying to keep as much "donor" stuff as possible. We call that "the Robin Hood Sierra
approach"

I got blocked from viewing it, but I'm guessing that it's the Sport Compact Car article where they chopped the sentra down to the unibody,
and then cut some more, I think they removed alot of unessesary stuff like doors and glas etc...

It's a great article. I have the original print mag, but the online version is complete. You should try to view it again. It speaks volumes
about quickness through lightness. For me reading it was a validation of what the Locost movement stands for... Even though most of the people reading
that mag aren't capable of making the (obvious to me) leap to custom tube-frames and fiberglass bodywork...
