There are a couple of folk on there who have done it, including the owner of Smallcar in Seattle <www.smallcar.com>, who has converted at least two. He makes an engine crossmember for it too. As to the car, drop an EG22 into it and sell it as a going concern! -- Andrew Grebneff 165 Evans St, Dunedin 9001, New Zealand <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut |
