now THIS is a proper build thread.

Awesomeness

and here's the almost ready result:

Holy heck that is itense. Really makes me wish I had the time/money/skills to do something like that to mine.

 

[MarinaDiamandis]

Meh, it's just like any other full build thread. Nice to see someone machining their own components though.

 

[Leonidae]

if it's just Meh, let's see you do the same, shall we?

 

[TheCracker]

That's an impressive built alright, especially the custom machined diff(?) casing. It will be interesting to see how well it goes. The guy's got the right idea of concentrating on getting a well balanced car, rather than the usual case of a mixture of what looks good and how much expensive stuff they can throw at a project with no real goal other than the wow factor and one-upmanship. 👍

Just finished reading the entire thread - incredible stuff. My jaw nearly hit the keyboard when I read that he even built his own workshop for the job.

If you fund it, I will build it

well, with 600€ per month we could possibly build a Yugo that doesn't fall apart..

LOL... would be interesting to try and build the fastest Yugo we can... that doesnt peel its body panels off at speed.. What about a Pinto?

Yugo is a great base for a good budget racer/weekend car.
Can find you numbers of great examples

Pretty cool, looks a bit like a Golf

 

[Leonidae]

yeah.. but you know.. "Yugo - it's a suggestion, not a promise".. I'd rather build a 740 wagon, turn it into a turbocharged sleeper.

 

[a112]

Just saying that it isn't such a bad car at all.
Minimal investments can bring you driving pleasure.

 

[ExigeEvan]

That was some nice machining on the 'diff box.

hence why i'd rather get a Kadett C, Starlet KP6x, BMW E30 or similar.. heck, even a Volvo 360 would do in a tight spot.

This. What does the build being just like the other big builds have to do with my ability to do the same? Guess my machining and metalwork skills will come in handy

Nice!
