haha, looking good so far though, its really coming along. There are a lot of these projects with different engines going on eBay because people give up!

Keep up the good work, cant wait to see the finished thing!

Sorted some of the engine compartment wiring... Still looking for the best place to put the ecu..


I am about to order parts to make the exhaust system. And ordering drive shafts 'round two!! ;D)

Thanks Tate!, good luck with your shafts!

I've been pondering about the car. I thought it was a Italian car build in Poland. And by putting a Toyota engine in it it would have a Japanese hart... right? It turns out there is more to it then I thought... Let me take you on a little trip...


The car is build in Poland,

As is the (new) Toyota wiper mechanism. But the wiper motor is French ::)

So is the oil filter.

the blower motor is czech.

The alternator is from Italy.

The ECU is made in Hungary.

Some of the relays came out of Portugal..

Or indeed Japan.

And I will even have some german quality on board! :P

All the parts have travelled more than the car it selves the last years! :$

Thanks guys!!  :)

Returned from our holliday I found this in the mail  :D:

It's a pedal set from an Aygo.

I'll try this weekend to see if I can use it to operate the clutch.

Looks nice and shiny though!

Time for an update...

The clutch mechanism seems to work... :yahoo:

A few weeks ago I've sent another set of (toyota & Fiat) drive shafts to my 'shaft-specialist-company'. I'd included a drawing of what I wanted: shafts with fiat splines on one side and toyota splines on the other side... This is what I recived yesterday:  :cry: Now I can connect a fiat gearbox with a toyota box... Not what I had hoped for...

I thought that my drive shaft angle would be steep but yours looks more crazy than mine :D I hope that your drivetrain design will work  ::) ;)

The clutch mechanism will probably work ... The construction under the hood looks pretty hilarious though  ;D


I made a start with the exhaust. I'm using the Aygo muffler and some universal piping. No idea where this project ends, but for now at least it has greatly improved my welding skills  :-X
