Got a couple of days to kill on a build thread? This is one for the books. Very well executed. Dare I say mind blowingly good.

Some people have the right combination of talent, patience, and money to pull off something like that. Unfortunately I don't, but I sure appreciate and applaud those who do!

TL:DR A S2000 engine, transmission, and front suspension are carefully grafted into a old British crapcan. It's worth the read.

Such mad skills. Cannot imagine the hours logged for that build.

I would love to put in a S2000 engine and transmission into the 66 1800S

Pretty awesome. Don't know if I have the patience for it, but it would be cool if I could.

Love that build. At times it is the very definition of scope creep, though.

I only read the first page and the last page so far. Will go back and read more. Looks like a very interesting and well done project.
