Only thinking out loud but has anyone on here gone with a Restomod style build ? I'm thinking big alloys, low profile tyres with modern engine and updated / uprated suspension. The idea could be adapted to most of the kits on the market. Maybe I've been watching too many episodes of Fast n Loud !!
Perhaps a long nose Formosa with an LS7 V8. Maybe one of the new Tribute Z3gato's which will soon be available, you would be half way there with an M Roadster donor car !
Lots of choices out there with engines. Stand alone ecu's from various companies are making modern choices ever more viable. Gone are the days of the Ford Pinto and Crossflow as the engine of choice in your kit, thank God !
I watched that video some time ago. Its a fantastic car, yes , the wheels are a couple of inches too big in my opinion also. The interior mods set the car off really well along with the subtle exterior changes.
Look out for a cheap Wildcat Roadster to create something similar !
They will be out there somewhere ! Lots of older kits are just sitting in garages up and down the country waiting to be rediscovered ! There's always the D type or XK option from Tribute / Old No 7 if you want to build a new car !
