Trying to figure out a solution to photobucket.... but heres a current pic of the project for now!
Picked up a 1966 Volvo 122 for $500 from down the street, bought a v8 lexus that needed a VI for $900 ....and somehow thought they should be together.
I want something light, fast, handles good, super reliable, and weird.
I think I got it all:
Sick smoke show:
turned that into this in a couple days:
cut out the whole rear drive train and floor pan:
Built a little subframe to match the width of the inside of the volvo rockers and to keep everything together.
Had to shorten the lexus 3" to get the wheelbase perfect:
More trimming and now they are one!
I am going to get the body dropped even more and build some fender flares sort of like this guy:
But thats where it sits as of today. I have a manual tranny adapter ready for me from a machine shop on the island since the Lexus 1uzfe never came with a manual tranny.
