Seth  , the mechanic who worked on Am33r's Inferno Murci just picked up my Mr2 to begin our build :]

Step one will be the stripping of the metal, and stretching the mr2 for the aventador wheelbase

Probably going to use the audi transmission from the same engine , or mate with a porsche boxter transmission

About getting the engine to fit...

Something along these lines :D , they used the old Mr2 though, I think I will have enough space

Your car is going to be sweet!  Eventually I want to get the Audi V8 also for my build, definitely interested in watching this to see how you get it to work and what transmission you will be using.

We hope our post help someone finish their build or get them interested in our hobby and start a build.

Ameer the interior is not original and was actually reupholstered!

Pm me your phone number , i'll call you to get your mechanics info and arrange him to pick up and stretch it

I got the car for $600

But yes , the racing seats were worth $300 themselves

 ::bounce congrats mate! You picked it up! I hope there is no warping  :) there is no plunge here - you can sell the parts for over the price we know of if you ever change ur mind :) you are the first one here or on mm to buy a donor for an aventador build! just so you know that interior is beautiful reminds me of mine shown here (: http://www.madmechanics.com/forum/consumer-opinions/15662-lamborghini-aventador.html I hope u got it for half of what they asked for. btw if you dont want the dash and center console I want them lol

cheers  ::beers
