Donut, all it needs is a Hyabusa engine, some nice wide wheels, a lick of paint and Bob's your uncle.

Donut - I take it you mean either the white one or the red one?





I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

Lightning, I'm suprised you don't have to sit in the back seat in order fit inside. I had to put MG reclining seats in mine so that I could drive comportably.







"just like that !"
