Anyone ever seen one of these?
I was at the PnP last weekend and there was a pretty nice example of one that was being parted out piece by piece by a little lady that was probably in her 40s. She talked with the yard about purchasing the whole car, but they wouldn't let her so she was taking everything she could...one bolt/screw at a time. Hoping she can purchase the body when she's done. Pretty daunting task if I do say so myself. She had 4 carts full of parts. Windows, Doors, drivetrain, interior. She was working on the engine when I started talking to her. The unique body caught my attention when I was stealing a Protege console from the car next to it. Later I even helped her remove the last of the transmission bolts in the rear. Was the strangest setup I had ever seen. Front mounted engine with a rear mounted tranny and disc brakes directly to either side of the tranny...instead of up closer to the wheels.
I can't find any photos of the transmission and disc brakes, but I had never seen anything like it. Looked like a really fun little car. Hope she was able to snag the body after all that work pulling parts!
