GTR Body on old sport body

[DYB]

I heard once that you can put a GTR Body on old sport body. What do people think about buying a cheap/poor example maybe with wrong engine etc. and modernising it. Also where do you find these things for sale second hand ?

I think this is what Spedworx did with their Ultima which ran in the GT series. Jazz cheaper and faster motoring for all! http://www.transnational.co.uk/hpc/index.asp

When you say "wrong motor", I assume you mean an engine other than the Chevy, as there are loads of engines you can fit quite correctly. It'll cost you a fortune to change the engine for anything other than the same type that's already fitted. You'd need a new exhaust system (at the very minimum the manifolds, if not the whole system), you may need a new oil system, as well as a gearbox adapter plate (possibly gearbox as well). Then you'll have to change engine mounting points and so on. Expect to pay anything up to £7k on top of the new engine forall the other bits. Much cheaper to just go out and buy the car you want in the first place.
