Holy crap! Oh to have all the tools, skills, and complete batshit craziness to take on a project like this...

Civic Hatchback / WRX Unibody Frankencar (http://jalopnik.com/5520641/hondabaru-the-nuttiest-thing-youll-see-today)

I really would love to see this thing in person. I just wonder how strong you could make two hacked together Unibodies.

It just seems like it would be a rickety tin can. I can't imagine it being a very confidence inspiring ride. A better solution would probably have been to build a tube frame in the civic body and adapt the drivetrain over.

Why? I'm all for trying something out, but that wouldn't even cross my mind.

For the price I would have dropped the s2000 rwd driveline in the civic. I bet it handles a lot like a wrx since it all wrx except the body panels.

That may be the dumbest thing you've ever said. Unless there's some inside humor in it I don't get. :huh:
