Cute and innocent, but it will tear you a new one with no sweat.

There's your inspiration, run with it.

Hit up a classifieds section. See if the UK has a craigslist type site. It's a wonderland of old cars and crap.

instead of trying to find a car with no engine, just a cheap car and pull the engine and trans. There is a guy on another forum im on for my car, and he took a 71 corolla, pulled its engine and drivetrain and put in a v6 out of a firebird. He later threw on an M90(supercharger).That thing hauls ***. i cant remember what it weighs, but it know its light. heres the link to the thread about it:

I thought of this once when I saw that the Banshee was still made in Europe...it would take a lot of money to get one over here, plus getting through all the stupid border crap would be a pain 'cause it's a Two-Stroke and all the things that make it good would cause too many issues. I say shipping things that large is too impractical and way too much of a hassle.

It's only an issue if you want to put plates on it in the US. Ship the car and engine seperate, the car is a "project" and the engine is "parts", so customs can't stop it there. But if you wanted to make it street legal, that's where it can get tricky depending on your state.

Deckerz, do you guys have a classifieds section like Craigslist? I found a mini cooper roller here in Houston TX.
