The current owner decided to keep it front-wheel drive but in an usual way. The little red car now features a 355 ci Chevy V8 mated to a TH350 automatic transmission. Power is sent forward to a 1989 BMW 325i limited-slip differential with modified Audi 90 CV shafts. The owner reinforced the chassis with rectangular tubing and installed a custom roof-exiting exhaust system.<\/p>\n<p><a
