Project Something Or Other
I've noticed a lot of letters about project cars wanting to see something different from the standard WRX, Evo, Z, etc. And I agree. As great as these cars are, not all of us can afford them. So I think you should do something that goes back to the roots of compact car tuning, like an original VW Rabbit, a late-80s Honda Civic or way back to an original Mini. I would love to see an MG Midget because I own three rusty ones, but I doubt that's something many readers would be interested in. If you really must do the latest car, the new Saturn Astra looks like it's the same as the Vauxhall in England and they make a turbocharged version that is truly mad.Robert CoatesFranklin, KY
While the MG Midget and Saturn Astra aren't exactly the most common tuning platforms, we've just started Project Backmarker Civic, a 1988 EF-chassis Civic. We also still have Project Corolla in the garage; we're not made of money either. And we're always on the lookout for new, affordable chassis to pick up and then pick apart. A vintage project, such as a late-60s Datsun or Mazda, has also crossed our minds at one point or another.
