Project IV – Introduction

Did you guess the mystery project car? Most likely!

MG ZR Hatch Rally Car

Here’s a bit of a change of pace from the low/wide/street/race features usually seen here. Randall submitted this MG rally car build. It’s a quick one, only a few pages to breeze through, but with an engine transplant planned for the future it’s one to keep an eye on.

The Infamous Project

“3 months – 2 Cars – 1 Dream”

Dave from Stance Is Everything sent me an email to let me know about The Infamous Project which is due to take place from January 1st until March 11th, 2010. During this time you will be able to view the customisation of two cars live a LIVE feed in the builder’s garage. This is taking the whole build thread/online journal concept to a new level. The cars in question are a 1992 BMW AC Schnitzer and a 1989 Mustang GT Convertible, so there’s something for the Euro and USDM lovers amongst us.

Could this live concept start a new trend in the online car documentation scene?

Head to http://theinfamousproject.com/ to read up more about the project(s) and be sure to bookmark it.

BMW M5 Ute

Cereal submitted this build to me, but it’s something I saw years ago while reading Street Machine Magazine when the car was still a concept. It belongs to professional Aussie golfer Stuart Appleby, and it shows what happens when you’re a BMW nut with a whole lot of disposable income. An M5 sedan is given the ute/pickup treatment to fit some golf clubs in the back, with all the body work being fabricated the old school way, in metal.

Audi 90 IMSA GTO Replika

While loitering around VWwatercooled, I found a link to an Audi 90 IMSA GTO replica. Quite an impressive feat by the passionate owner, no doubt about it. Check out the all-metal wide-body and custom made wheels.

RB26 E30 BMW

Thanks to Jeroen from Speedhunters for kindly throwing this build my way. Once again, everyone’s favourite car (or should I say, the Internet’s favourite car), the E30 BMW, get’s some major lovin’. This one’s getting it’s new heartbeat from Nissan’s finest, an RB26DETT (with both T’s removed and replaced with one big T). Purists look away.

Build Threads Project Car 2.0

A new project car is entering the Build Thread’s stable. More will be revealed soon, until then here’s a preview…

*Disclaimer: Above silhouette may be slightly exaggerated.

2CV 355

I found this interesting piece of machinery on Wheel Whores. What is it exactly? Well, its a Citroen 2CV van plonked onto a stripped Ferrari 355 chassis…

…I don’t know what else to say!

English Garage

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a garage build, so here’s one that is a bit more realistic for the majority of us. Dan emailed me his photo-documented garage build not long ago, and you can tell he’s proud as punch of the outcome, and wouldn’t he be? Every car nut dreams of having their own space to work on their project(s), and Dan has achieved that with a house-quality multiple car dwelling located at the rear of his block for maximum privacy. It’s just begging for a ground-up rebuild to take place inside.

Project Track ‘Rado

Jason emailed me some pictures of a VR6 Corrado track project built & raced by himself and a friend. A great DIY build amongst friends with some slick photography and a really cool workspace…
