Lamborghini Murcielago Kit Car On A Mr2 Turbo

[peggyontherun]

I purchased this kit off a guy that didint know what he was at :D here we go i know it wont be to everybodys taste

but i will put this up its taken 8 months to get it to where it is.

The car and kit when i got it the previous owner tried to make his own frame :-\

So let the build begin

This was the old frame and you can see the new frame beside the car

Off with the old frame

The car used was a Toyota Mr2 turbo Mr2 the car was lengthened in the middle a foot and a half roughly this was done by the previous owner

tbh its not my cup of tea,but it looks like you have put alot of effort into mate, what sort of power is it running?

[peggyontherun]

280 bhp its running at am going to leave it at that as its only being built as a cruising car not built for speed

This is pretty damn cool, I can definitely respect this from an engineers/fabricating point of view.

I don't like the fake discs though... just use real discs.

Other than that a pretty mental build and I look forward to seeing how it turns out

Why.... why.... why...

I admire the work you've put in but with what you've spent you could be running one hell of an MR2 that would give most cars a run for their money....

[GTForbes]

That is impressive, is there any up to date pictures?

Personally I'd spend the money on handling and performance but each to their own

[peggyontherun]

Sorry guys i have been flat out working on this 8 hours a day

Dash all fiberglassed in

Has this turned into a REAL Lambo???

I get the impression that you will tell gullible people that you drive a Lamborghini, and tell your insurance company that you drive an MR2?!

[peggyontherun]

No no its a kit car people will be told MR2

@ Kparris-Jones - something different a lambo kit on a MR2 Shell something to pass the day by.

Ok got half of the interior primed today as the whole of the interior was custom made by hand its taken a few months to make and alot of sanding to get it to this stage

[PumpkinSteve]

:D you're mad. Will the filler be solid enough when the car flexes over bumps and stuff?

[peggyontherun]

yip the car will flex a bit just like any other car as for speed ramps not many around here
