And a car that I'm buliding now:

Mercedes Ponton '61 + Mitsubishi EVO 9 = ??

Story started when owner of both cars told me that someone crashed his EVO and that he has an old Merc Ponton and asked me can joint that cars.

First , I thought that thi was a joke but... it wasn't.

So I take both cars and started

Here is plan:
Cut everything from EVO floorpan and cut Mercedes floorpan and then weld this together.

Then Mercedes EVO 9 will get rollcage , bucket seats, harnesess and all necessary rally equipment.
