Lamborghini Murcielago kit car built on a Toyota MR2 http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/737/hjghj014.jpg |
Hi Sean! :wave: Welcome to RX7CLUB.
I would have never guessed thats a MR 2! Good work. Glad to have you here. :wavey: -Robert, Super Moderator. |
Cheers Robert love the site and RX7 am purchasing one next March and then im ordering the Veilside Fortune kit will post a build diary up as soon as i start
Yip that Lamborghini Murcielago its taken about a year to get it to where it is today i custom built the dash its in carbon fiber |
I'm jealous...I was actually looking into doing this cause I had access to a mr2 chassis as well. Welcome to the forum! I'm new myself. What co. did you go with to buy the kit if you don't mind me asking?

Cheers guys it one of the hardest kit in the kit car industry to build and they are right i have put blood (literly) sweat (alot of) Tears (some areas i nearlt gave up).
The whole car is nearly custom made as i have made changes to the kit the crowd that makes the kit is http://www.extreme-sportscars.com/murci/index.html i didnt buy my kit off these guys i purchased it from a guy here in Ireland that didnt know what he was doing but be very careful with this crowd as they usually dont provide all the parts and you will be left with out them. This is the car when i bought it the previous owner tried to make the frame himself http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/1997/dsc00845xc.jpg Everything removed http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/3460/build003.jpg This was taken 6 months ago beside my 7 series http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/9827/gggg004.jpg Here is the custom dash i made http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/1495/dashhh008.jpg Here it is in carbon fiber http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/2185/yipppppp006.jpg |
if that 1st pic is the end result its a mental transformation!

Hey Sean,
Replied to your pm, will mail you this w/end. Not going to lie, the fortune kit is a bloody headache, but from the looks of things compared to what you're doing now I think you'll handle it fine. Just a lot of fitting and refitting and regardless of what vs says, the parts don't all line up so there's some work there too but if you can do that lambo, you won't struggle with a vs.:nod::icon_tup: |
@ Silhouette - Cheers for the PM looking forward to your e-mail and great to have a reply from somebody thats actually built a VS Fortune kit.

very cool project... i've never seen a Murcielago kit done before, keep posting pictures and would love to see this thing finished!
(i used to own a sw20 myself) only criticism is that some of your pictures are kinda huge and take forever to load :P but good stuff! |
