Right so this this is going to be my first drift car so its going to be cheap and cheerful. Yes I no its an odd car to make a drift car out of but the shell was free so I cant complain. Nothing Mercedes is going to be left in it, so if I do give it a tip or brake something its not going to cost a fortune!

The running gear is going to be s13/14, so subframes, coilovers, brakes, diff etc...

The engine is going to be a 1UZ, if anyone doesn't know what this is its a 4.0l v8 from a lexus ls400 or toyota soarer. So hopefully it will do the job.

The shell is going to be really modified since it weighs about 100 tonne, everything that i can cut out will be cut out. Since I dont plan on using this in prodrift the whole front will be chopped off and replaced with a spaceframe type deal. The rear will be similar. Most of the panels will be fiberglass to reduce weight further.

This is what i have done so far!























It was very interesting turning the shell upside down and getting it into the shed all on my own!

Yes i no it was fairly hatchet the way i got it in but i did get it in!

I should have the s13 subframe fitted tomorrow and maybe the front subframe, depends on the weather!
