Yep, awesome exhaust! Not sure why they didn't just flange the back box?

Epic, brilliant - Love this!

One of the coolest builds I have ever seen. Will be an absolute weapon when finished.

absolutely amazing fabrication work, and that body shell spit is fantastic wobble

I'm still intrigued as to what kind of arches are going to end up on it with the current track, as the front wheels will need quite a bit of room for the ark they are going to steer in eek

Keep up the good work though chaps, awe inspiring as always biggrin

Scranny,

We're hoping to have it rolling by Christmas and then a full strip down, shell dip and paint, clean and paint everything then finished by the spring ready for shows!
I feel like this post needs highlighting, nearly three years on! laugh

On the one hand - GET ON WITH IT! On the other, how will we get our fix when they do eventually finish?

I'm a patron, they sent us an email recently saying that they want Nik to go full-time on this stuff, if they can get a bit more financial support. They have "at least two more" similar-ish projects planned after Binky.

I'm hoping one is a v10 BMW 2002. Or a Meteor-powered 1930's Bentley.

If you like it, how about signing up?

Can you re-post the sign-up details, Lefty?

They may be better found by folk/ get more money if they're repeated regularly through this thread.

I'll contribute, for sure.

I'd quite like them to do something mid-engine, a small hatch a la Renault 5 Turbo 2, please.

I think a v8 from the e92 m3 with a Boxster transaxle in the back of an Elise would be interesting...

Thanks Lefty - signing up now!

Have you followed the V10 from the e60 build thread? Norwegian bloke - cross posted in the Lotus forums on here smile

V8 just wouldn't do it for me anymore, after seeing that! However, that V8 in the back of something like a 205 GTi - mental!

They're working on editing it. If you follow them on FB they tease us with such snippets.
