Like your choice of a lightweight Rover V8. Surely not the most powerful engine, but a glorious sound at any rpm, and far removed from the castrated sputter and misfire of modern tiny displacement turbo engines. Must be a joy to feel the midrange torque in that light car. Sixties VW Bug dashboard is a great idea and tastefully integrated. Great car, dude,! Compliments!

this guy is a perfectionist and a minimalist. amazing work. i wish many manufacturers would follow suit.

I like the interior scheme. Door just flew open at the end.

That sound is amazing

fantastic work!

Super pice of engineering. Well done for investing the time to achieve something different!

Wicked car mate. Big up. Top build

Looks to be beautifully built

You running a rover v8 on a Holley carb? I'm impressed.... what gearbox and back end are you running?

Sweet, unusual choice. Put the hood back on, install some regular headlights and fit some wheels and tires that actually mate together, and I'd drive it!

Why put wide arches, wide wheels and then stretched tyres on?

Tablero de escarabajo . Muy bueno

chulada de carro!!!

Sounds so smooth. Would have expected something much more aggressive

awesome job, but pls , put the hood on that beauty

Nice clean workmanship. But IMHO the wheel arches are out of proportion with the rest. ....

Well.... it's different. That at least has to stand for something.

WHY ARE U HATTIN THIS PROJECT? This is UK, and that's why it's Rover engine inside this car, because it's cheap and popular in UK. I think that the main idea was to build small hatch with RWD and V6/V8 under the bonnet. 250HP is too small for 3.5 v8 are u serious? DAMN AMERICANS HAD 5.0 V8 WITH 170 HP STFUUUUUUUUUUU HATERS!

The 3.5 is an American engine, it was first used by Oldsmobile and Buick in the early 60s

How did you relocate the steering rack to get the V8 installed?

Nice car what diff are you running

Is that interior dash from beatle ?

واوووووو

man, where can I find that v8 engine?

what code is ths red you used..

Nice; all aluminum V8 I believe?Just as light as a vr6 swap and this one does not sit in front of the wheels.

it has a beetle dash? or do mk1 dash have similar dashes to the beetle?

Different but dumb engine choice when an R32 VR6 which makes 240 horsepower and is bolt in with aftermarket mounts that are readily available. I've even seen R36 from B6 Passat in MK1 and those make 260-280 horsepower and have plenty of room between the firewall and engine for a turbo.

All these half wits knocking your engine choice lol. 250 horsepower out of a small displacement V8 is PLENTY for a stripped out golf, and it has a great sound. Can you tell me what the song is? I really like it haha.

Big heavy V8 with very low power, m52 BMW M3 engine and 6 speed box a lot lighter a lot higher rpm and 320 bhp, I bought the lot for E30 conversion for less than a grand. Looks well though, saying that 250bhb is about your lot for escort English axel you'd need to go the atlas route.

pretty sure that's a very small block GM... I believe it was used in Land rovers but the point is that a 350 sbc probably won't fit as easy then there's the weight issue lol a 350 and a turbo 350 trans probably weighs more than a mk1 shell

It's more powerful, has more torque and it's much lighter than a GT86 + it sounds 10 times better. It's a one off very quick car, it doesn't have 700 Hp like the hellcat, because it's not meant for highway or 100 mph rolling races. It's one of the cars i would like to build if i had the money, a car with character - it's special. It's something that power addicts can't understand, it's a fun road, week-end car.

Core2QX how is it possible to hate a rwd car that is usually a Fwd

THERE'S IS ONLY ONE QUESTION : WHY?... So much effort for having a RWD car? Is that it? Or... is it because you want a V8 engine in your Golf? Well why using that peace of shit for an engine and not a Small Block Corvette or a 6.3 AMG engine. 250HP... you'll be the laugh of the town on a dragstrip. A factory standard GTI can easily, without any high level tuning, be altered into a 300HP+ machine! With more heavy modifications there are 2.0 Ltr. GTI's with even 700HP and more... To me it's a pointless and useless transformation. A lot of money flushed down the drain.
