What an amazing bit of it, shame the lad can't drive it!

OK I understand the idea of putting a TVR engine in a golf; in fact I positively applaud the idea, but what the hell has he done to the ride hight? it's looks absolutely ridiculous.

read the comments, he had to widen the shell by 5 inches it says becuase the torque out of the engine twisted the chassis.

if its true, its a good enough reason to drive it looking that low for me.

That is horrible, what has he done with the exhaust?

Not a fan, waste of a perfectly decent engine. Shame because i've seen some amazing mk1s.

It was on ebay in December, minus engine, gearbox and a load of other bits.

T'was on here a couple of years ago to beat the repost police - probably in the TVR forums.

How little suspension travel can that have ?
