Well, the title would be sweet to begin with, 3 rotor mid engine. has a nice ring to it. I found a 91 lotus locally, for pretty cheap bout 5600 without engine, bad paint. Frame is straight, needs some loving....so i started to look around at replacement stock lotus engines..hard as **** to find, and expensive. So, i was thinking bout 20b single turbo. There is a company out in california makes a body kit that updates their look to the latest, 99-02 look for a couple grand, I think it would make a pretty bad *** car, but the technicalities of it all havent quite sunk in...
Just and idea, what you guys think?
