VR-4 Twin Turbo conversion
After a long search i found a 1993 VR-4, i bought it, drove it home from England and the adventure could start.
I swapped the engine, the tranny, 4WD and complete brake system...
Here's some pics... :)

I had to cut out and weld back a big piece of the bottom of the car to fit the RWD onto my car.
The "tunnel" was much wider in the VR-r to fit the exhaust and drive shaft next to eachother, so cut it out and weld it back!! :)
This is what you would call a "flintstone car" ;)

The piece that came out, you can see here that the black part is wider than the grey part, that's the difference...

My brother at work, he's cutting the part out of my own car.

Ah perfect fit... :)

I "painted" the inside with some kind of bitume goo, for insulation, and put some plastic over that.

Putting back the cleaned carpet, it's going to look like a real car again!
