[TightDub]

[Nashty Rabbit]

Looking good.

Hey Nash, If you can remember the next time you're there can you measure the height of the stock center hump compared to the ne R hump? I know it has to be raised... I'm just trying to figure out what I'm going to do with my CAE shifter since it's like 1.5ft tall.

Thanks

Here you go homie... mike measured it out...

subscribed.

loving your work mate!

Sad to see the floor chopped up on such a nice care...BUT HELL IT WILL BE FUN!

felt the same way about all the cutting, but i'm sure after my first AWD burnout i'll forget about all of that....

lol... he definitely spends some money on his projects! as for ideas, my brain isn't that big and is full of ideas already so no more room for ideas... lol.... just execute what's in there now

thanks for all the comps fellas!

take care,
nash

Nash, you may have already said but will this be done by SoWo 11'?

Nash, you may have already said but will this be done by SoWo 11'?

doubt it.... even after all the mechanical stuff is figured out between fitting all the r32 stuff and turboing, he car will be disassembled again to do paint and body work, then put back together..... So its going to be a good minute...


HOWEVER, me and mike made a verbal agreement at h20 this year that if he gets it completely done by h20 next year, i'll demonstrate something for you guys in ocean city..... So i think him and the rest of the eurowise guys should be motivated....

take care,
nash

[Nashty Rabbit]

The euroWise Guys are getting serious now...

So what i wanted was basicly the entire r32 car stuffed in a rabbit shell... I'll keep the typing to a minimum and let the pics do the talking....

braced more of the car up to keep everything true...



notice the modified mk4 subframe... Bolted in place...



They go from this....



to this...



from under the car...



and finally, a new firewall, and don't worry, there will be a few less holes soon....




take care,
nash

good lord almighty, this is incredible Nash!
might have to make another trip and get a ride with the new drivetrain

whatever happened to you and the 993 plan tho?

[CozySpeed]

that floor pan comes off and on with ease.

Looks amazing Nash. Seeing you're baby cut up is definitely a crazy feeling
(this used to be my black car)

I have a feeling your's will turn out a little better though lol

But it begs me to ask, why use your current bunny to do this? From a purely logical standpoint, it would have been much better to just buy a crappy old shell for $500 bucks and turn It into this, instead of tearing apart a beautiful car.
I think I can predict your answer though...

PS: I still have my Fuba antenna I bought in like 2002 sitting in a box somewhere

[Take_it]

you said everything was for sale... Ill buy the wheels, breaks, rotars and possibly tires. if you get the chance please get back to me.

[VIP VR6 Rabbit]

Amazing!

A true Frankenstein, can't wait to see it alive!

long time dan! you know you definitely have a place to stay if you make it over to the south.

old pic from back in the day... miss you all!



as for the 993. i went looked at a few, but these cars have seriously held their value and couldn't find anything i liked for under $40k. I couldn't justify spending the money only to have it sit in a garage most of the time... I bought my s2k a year ago and have only driven it 3,000 miles One day though

that floor pan comes off and on with ease.

considering they're basicly mocked up now.. yes

Ben, it wouldn't let me see the pic?

As for why this car. I wanted to get another shell since I knew what route I wanted to go with this project in regards to all the cutting... however, a few people i respected said that it wouldn't be the "nashty rabbit" if i used another car and thought it was time for this car to evolve. either way, it does hurt to see this, but then again, its just a car....

you said everything was for sale... Ill buy the wheels, breaks, rotars and possibly tires. if you get the chance please get back to me.

sorry, but keeping the wheels for my caddy till my rabbit is done and brake setup is spoken for by a local...

Amazing!

A true Frankenstein, can't wait to see it alive!

You and me both...

Glad I caught this thread. I figured the nashty rabbit was long gone by now, seems like that build was so long ago. Glad to hear its still around and what an awesome evolution. Looking forward to watching.

[Scurvy Bandit]

I can't wait to see these pics on a computer! Looks like some awesome work. I will definitely be at h2o next year man.

[tobiwonkonobi]

Progress

[rabfan]

Good Lord that is impressive!

[fast bunny]

A lot of guys here in Montreal have been doing this kind of floor swap for a long time to put vr6 in there mk1, I think it was the best way to make the r32 swap ....

looking great,

long time ryan! I had two great offers and it almost sold twice but i just couldn't do it... i sucked at selling the car.. lol... either way, last time i saw your car it was on a trailer at waterfest getting ready for some passes on the track.. you still own it?

Dude...count me in on a visit and a ride!! this time I will be sure to have travel insurance!

Good Times fellas!

Of the 3 of you, joe's come back twice to see me... get all your asses back here, insurance or not...

More progress and must say... the guys at eurowise are definitely doing things the way i had explained and asked and they have even surpassed even my expectations in regards to quality and time.... thanks fellas

mk1 front control arm structures cut off



they reinforced the body with steel plates where the mk1 subframe\control arm mounts were cut off





drivers side oem mounting point for front subframe mount retrofitted



passenger side shot



detailed shot of mounting point

What i wanted goes well beyond my capabilities and more importantaly I wanted it done RIGHT. I know what i know and more importantly, i know what i don't know even better..... Having said that mike, doug, ronnie, and the rest of the eurowise guys are very capable of doing what i wanted!

the way it goes is..... i tell them my ideas and they tell me whether it is possible or not... So far i've gotten more yes's than no's, but after discussing suspension idea's with mike this weekend, i'm expecting a few no's coming soon....

I'm sure once all the fabricating is done, mike will let me rachet in one bolt.....

take care,
nash

[mattinbend]

for good progress
Best thing to look @ on a monday morn.
