    IsDoingItWrong's Protege Build

    So here we go boys and girls My first post and this is what I have to start with.

    Im not a mazda guy (I know this is a bold statement BUT this may change as this project comes to life), This was vehicle was exchanged for exhaust work on a customers truck. The pictures show exactly how I got it and I will update this thread with the build progress as I go along.

      Wow, never seen anyone start with just a stripped down shell/cage before. Did any other parts come with it, or do you have to source or fabricate them yourself?

      I'm interested to see the progress!
      Before you criticize someone, first try walking a mile in their shoes. Because then you'll be a mile away, and you'll have their shoes...

          Very interesting. This looks to be an awesome starting point. What drivetrain are you going to go with?

            Drivetrain is where im stuck..... from what I was told the car used to have a KL series in it but Since this is going to be a "toy" a C5 Corvette may make this project interesting. I have taken some rough measurments of a customers C5 and it looks like the engine and transmission will fit no problem, not sure how much I want to invest in this project.

              I for one would LOVE to see something out of the ordinary like that. I say go for it. Find a wrecked donor and build a MONSTER
