Pretty Neat Del Sol build ...
One of the guys over on HPJ has a friend building a RWD Del Sol .... evidently using a K24. Either way I thought it was pretty sweet build. Guy is doing it all himself in his garage.

Very cool. I like the fabbed wheel wells too, that's an excellent touch. I'm not too crazy about the massively heavy amount of steel tube used in that cradle, but that's a minor issue. It would be nice to see more use of the existing chassis instead of replacing everything with a giant square section tube frame though.
I'd like to see more pics of how the suspension is tied into everything, I can't really see anything in those pics. All I can figure out is that he's using a front suspension setup and those cadmium plated rods are a fixed-position tie rod replacement.
I can't say I would have done it the same way, but it's pretty fucking cool anyway.

But then again, this is coming from a guy into minitrucks... I'm used to seeing shit like that... I do know that there is a lot of math in that engine bay shot...
