nice one... i like the job on the body work, that yellow paint is going to make the car stand out... one thought though...mabye mount the spoiler on a plexan hatch...then you can interchange the glass one when not dragging....a 931 spoiler made from fiberglass would look great too... the guys that made my bodykit also did the spoilers but instead of the three pieces it was made in one piece that only goes three quarters of the way up the side of the hatch...
sorry i cant afford your engine conversion pieces, am very interested though, what rover engines does it fit with, what models,years are applicable??
keep up the good work !!

Why aren't they're pictures of a V8 in the yellow 924??
*cracked out look 
I wanna see 
How do you fit everything in there and set up the rear end? Do you put leaf springs in or what? A Ford 8.8 inch diff. isn't small...
I am planning on dropping a v8 in mine probably within the next two years if i can manage it... might as well start collecting parts.

I have been thinking of doing this very conversion and was wondering on a couple of issues.
Did the radiiator support get modified for the larger radiator?
What was the bell housing and flywheel like to fabricate?
The car looks excellent IMHO.

| I dont know about bolt patterns , but 99 lincoln continental ,not sure what year they started maybe 96-97 ,has a 4.6 L ,32 valve ,all aluminum v8 , getting 300 HP stock . it would probably be easier to get than a rover engine . |

its a drag /strip car,so my freind the tach needs to be more visible than than the stock one,and besides that it has an ali dash so most things are one of,except for all the autometer guages......

I would have kept the rear transaxle setup, but it does look good, and wtf the steering wheel is on the wrong side
