The car is my 87' junkyard mr2 which was originally a 1.6l four cylinder mounted transversely. The entire rear end, save for the quarter panels, has been cut out and is to be replaced with a partial tube chassis and an I5 mounted longitudinally with an audi trans. Once the powertrain is in place and the suspension is tuned, I will probably end up going turbo (also considering twinscrew).
Anyways, here are some pictures beginning when the car was only "lightly" molested and terminating at its present condition. Cheers.
Initial mockup.
Firewall removed and lower frame tacked in place.
Firewall framed in. A few little bits of transaxle were cut off at this point to allow the engine to sit at its correct tilt.
As it sits now. The solid portion of the firewall is tacked in and ready to be stitch welded in. The open space will be a removable panel that will allow for easy access to the belt, water pump, #1 coil, etc. I should be able to complete that portion in the next day or two.
