New guy on the block here. I am a long time British car hobbyist who has now picked up a 1973 Volvo P1800ES as a project. Did a quick scan of the site and it seems to be accepting of modified cars.
The car was acquires as a bare shell in reasonable shape. The goal is to graft on Miata suspension on both ends. Simultaneously, following in the Miata V8 crowds footsteps, the car will receive a Ford 302 with an AOD gearbox.
The car is not being designed as a drag car or track car. The goal is a lazy long legged cruiser with enough torque to keep up with traffic in the left lane. Hopefully much of the Miata character will remain in the braking and steering department.
Few pictures of how things are going:
