Thats cool, ill have to see some of ur work sometime.. then i'll show u my little project. i havea 03 zx3 that i rolled on the freeway,now its going to be a speedster. Im cutting the roof off and trimming the glass all the way back to give i a more sleek look then making a cover for the back with a roll cage for a lil extra protection. Plus i have a kugel rear wheel drive V8 kit thats going iin over the winter. I cant wait for spring.

I would like to see this project from start to finish.It sound like quite an
under taking. You must have some auto body back ground.
Will it be like the convertable the europe is getting?

Yeah im going to school for auto body but my brother has been doing it for a long time. No its not like the euro focus. just picture a zx3 with no roof but with the glass and cut the windsheild down 6 inches and cut the side glass and the same rounded angle that it is now back to the point under neith the tail light. ( the triangle shaped peice of plastic). then ill have one of those LED light bars that are normally used for trucks under the tailgate, frenched into the bumper. i could send u some drawings that ive done, of what the car will look like. let me know.

good idea but i don't think escape diff's,could handel the hp.
and i would have to see about the spacing I think the rear diff. would have to be mounted to the half shaft engine opening, just so you wouldn't have a cam cover in your ear .
but i would be willing to do some measurements!
