    It's ALIVE

    What it needs now is a clear perspex bonnet just so people can watch in amazement

    Either that, or a fully sik bodykit, etc just so you can see the cops faces after they've asked you to pop the bonnet

    Oh yeah, and leave the tailgate & turn it into a ute

    mate, been following this along, stalking your thread, but yeah, now its working, props to you!

    i love it

    watching that vid though, all i could imagine was hooking up some RC gear, whacking a pet dog in the driver seat, and going all 'back to the future' on it driving around a carpark with a remote control!!

    Awesome!
    So is this going to be a daily driver?

    If you were doing it all over, would you still have chosen the Sera?

    -MWP

    Yep that's the plan.
    If or when I do another one, I rekon either a oldskool celica or an Alfa GTV (as motor install would be piss easy with the prop shaft setup & trans axel).

    -Woggs
    I just forgot to put bolts in the linkage bracket, so it was flopping around shifting gears... oops

    I think you need to attach a Mr Fusion to the roof/boot area, pull into a servo for a ice-coffee-and-smokes, feed some bananas into it and leave with a silent skid.
