Just about every type of major mod someone can do on a car has been done. The engine was swapped from a 2.4L LD9 to a 2.2L L61. Then the motor was moved from the front of the car to the back. It has a custom turbo setup and has been converted to RHD. Most of the chassis has been replaced with tubular support. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/engineswapdepot.com\/?attachment_id=4337\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4337\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\"
