Can you believe it? Put a v8 in back and fibreglass front, job done.

This is up for sale again!

I've heard the seller is not so great to get on with...but I don't know him so I won't judge.
Anyway, I'm not sure where the DVLA stand on re-using an existing tub as part of a self built kit car.  With a space frame you need a certificate of newness from the manufacturer to pass the IVA test in order to get it registered.  This of course will not have that.
It could definitely be used a track car, and even rebuilt as a 430 with the right parts. 
I'd even try and put in a V10 or V12 if it could be made to fit!
I think get it road registered would prove a real PITA though.

I have considered having another space frame constructed, based on my Gallardo space frame, but for the wheel base and track of say the 430, drop in the audi V8 and RWD box (as I've done in mY gallardo rep), and plonk one of Extreme's 430 body's on top...?

[stevewushu]

just had a quick look at the specs of the gallardo and F430...
wanted to see how my spaceframe matches up to a 430 body.  My space frame is built to fit an exact gallardo body. 
Dunno about the Extreme 430 body? is that dead on to the mm or out by a couple of mm?

                 GALLARDO                 F430

Length         4300                       4512

Width          1900                       1923

Wheelbase    2560                       2600

Front Track   1622                       1669

Rear Track    1592                       1616

Not a huge amount of difference.
The space frame is built and designed to take an audi V8 and 2WD (RWD) gearbox - 6 speed manual, hubs and calipers right at the wheel (so no spacers and fake discs/calipers etc), bilstein coilovers, full length steering rack, and a custom windscreen frame to suit whatever body goes on it.
Obviously much more expensive than buying a pug 406 coupe though. But a genuine RWD V8.
A project I may take up after the gallardo...

Could graft the body onto a road legal modified lotus chassis http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lotus-Esprit-Chassis-Lotus-Esprit-S4-Chassis-Esprit-Turbo-Chassis-1993-/291533310146?fits=Car+Make%3ALotus&hash=item43e0bd48c2

You'd definitely be better off with an extreme replica 360 than that 360 bodyshell IMHO, Its just the bodyshell, no doors, no front and no running gear (ie a lot less than you see in those pics). I expect Mr Strange has been inundated with dreamers.
