Fascinating build with an incredible specification.

Is the engine not a VAG 20vt unit?

I'd also like to add: Holy Flirking Schnitt! to the other comments so far.

I always liked the look of the old Ibiza, the F2 kitcars especially. This looks awesome.

If you need a driving volunteer, I am happy to sign the pile of waiver forms that will undoubtedly be necessary.

I do wonder if the Ibiza was chosen deliberately. Or it was "just there and I got bored"....

Wow.

Is the rear subframe custom? Or from a BMW to fit the diff?

Max has been building this car since before my kids were born. Eldest is 13 now. .. This car needs to get out on the track asap. Having sat in the passenger seat of max's road car I can assure you I'll admire this creation from the pit lane wall.

My favourite part of the car is the volvo 340 bell housing. We found a suitable shed down at the local auction and 130 quid later he drove it home. The car was too nice to break so we all drove it about as and when our daily drivers were broke. I p articulately remember the day we went to autosport in it but I can't say any more for legal reasons but the words sideways would feature heavily. ...

MT, it's a bit of a masterpiece. The looks are very Metro 6R4 in concept, execution looks spectacular.

Good work!

Fairly predictably, it's all custom......
