This thing is Kiwi ingenuity at its finest. Just being a marine motor in a land vehicle would make it special even if it didn't look amazing as well.

I'm slightly confused about how the clutch works?

I'm guessing open diff, clutch just unloads one axle letting it slip?

That doesn't seem right though lol

Ohhhhh I see. I can't think how else it could work, so we will go with this hypothesis until further data is accumulated.

Must be a dog box then? Clutch to get started and then just bang shifting the rest of the way?

This is such a cool project, look forward to seeing more of it.

This must be close to being the most rad OS project yet

The only way it could be any cooler is if he drove it to work on Fridays.

I really really like the sympathetic rebuild to preserve it's originality, I think it's a method more racecar restorers should consider instead of a concours level rebuild. I realise in a lot of cases this is difficult however, but there's something special about the battle worn aesthetic of an old racer.

Look forward to following progress, it's a brilliant looking little car.

This is awesome! 

I think I saw some photos of this thing and a brief description of it a few years ago. 

My understanding is that the power to weight is absolutely bonkers. 

Following this thread with a severe level of interest!
