Project Mental 480. Or probably not!

[Doingitsideways]

Right, so...

I have some pretty crazy ideas from time to time.

The current insane idea that's doing the rounds in the scary place that is my mind, goes a little something like this:


Take one of these, or more to the point, this actual one as it's mine:




Then, as it needs a fairly rediculous amount of welding anyway, introduce it to one of these:




Shoehorn in one of these:




Attatched to one of these:




With a rear end that looks something like this:






So, what do people think??

Should make for a pretty entertaining little car, I think. Arguably the one Volvo should have made in the first place!!


Please note though, this project is entirely dependant on me building a double garage in the garden, learning to weld and rebuilding my Capri first!!

A fella can still have mental ideas though, right?!
