Interesting, what materials are you planning on using? I\'m doing the front of my mini in a similar fashion.

I am planing to use a mixture of building teknees stell box section and aloy panals and some sandwigeing of aloy and fome aloy on crumpal zones (cills) and a integral cage weldid to the roof
well thats the plan at present anyway
Hi this sounds like a top project. Kinda reminds me of a guys project that I have read up on on his website. //www.beardmorebros.co.uk
I know it isnt a mazda or have a rotor as an engine but it is almost along the same lines and he does spell it all out quite well.
good luck with it all. cheers, michael.
mines a flip front. wish I could give yu really useful information, but I\'ve never tubbed a car before
There is also a guy on ausrotary that has shown in detail how he has tubbed his mazda 1300 estate. Think his user name is rotortechperformance. Something like that.
cheers, michel.

I have a 1970 volvo 4 door sedan that even in good condition isnt worth too much and have had many a \'tubbed\' thought. Kinda think a stockish vovlo with a set of 15 by 12 inch rims would look great and a little lower than normal. Nothing looks tougher i reckon than a car with a big/wide set of rims under the rear end.
I actually have a copy of fast fours that has a pic of a tubbed turbo II in it in the build stage. Now the pic is quite small but may be helpfull????
If you would like it then let me know and I will send it off to you.
cheers, michael.
hi that woud be good
sorry been away from the comp e-mail me edwardwhitten@hotmail.com and I will send you my adress

they have a flip front shame they are in the usa
Hi I will e-mail later and am happy to send it on. But just been looking at the ausrotary site and the guy that is making a full space fram for his turbo II has put up heaps of photos of his progress. It is definately worth a look.
I think it is under the heading ygo20b update. or something like that.
cheers, michael.
I had a quick look but coudent find it will look again in next few days
