I don't think you could use it in a hill climb it would have to go up in reverse!!!
I love mad projects like this. I had a friend who made a maestro pickup with a mid mounted audi turbo motor in it and that was stupid..lol Good luck |

You alrite buddy, somebody hinted in my corrado build thread on T5D5.org that there was a T5 Maestro..and yes there is!
Been having a butchers at your build thread, how far have you got with this?, it seems me and you both have similar ideas, as im using a s40/v40 gearbox to use a cotton reel engine mount, and probably the same on the engine side (may have to drill and tap some threads into the head) for the T4 engine mount on a T5, still looking into i t. This is feckin awesome!! |

This is one of the funniest threads I've read! Good luck with this and we need more piccys. Any chance you could paint it beige and put a trilby on the rear parcel shelf, as I'd love to be at the traffic lights when you leave behind various 'quick' cars and they can't believe whats just left them in a cloud of dust.

now this idea i like ! go for a stock scooby scoop, and dont paint it to match the car, this way, it'll add to the chuckle factor.
