Nex_necO Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 This dude built his own Lamborghini in his basement. Only took him 10 years. Pretty impressive. Home made Lamborghini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg_r Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Many years ago a pal of mine had a Countach replica he built from a kit - fibreglass body, spaceframe chassis, Jag V12 engine and mostly Jag running gear. Looked exactly like the real thing even on a side-by-side comparison. It went like stink, handled superbly but, oddly, was more comfortable to drive than the real thing (the original car was a nightmare).

cca7083 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 wow! all this built, designed, and fabricated by hand by just one guy? although i doubt you could take it out for a spin in the rain especially because the ITBs are sticking out at the back. this car probably ROARS while passing through the neighborhood.

chubbchubb Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Whow... that sure brings back memories. Some 25 years ago my big dream was building a Ferrari 365 Daytona Spider on a Corvette chassis. It was the car used in the Miami Vice series and the frontliner in Kitcar Magazine... Of course I was nowhere near having the funds...but it was a nice dream...

Guest HaloArchive Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Yeah, it was originaly a Lightweight so, it has Leightweight serial no's but, during a racing accident it was virtually totaled. It was rebuilt into a Carrera RS Touring and painted a White/Blue scheme. Under some paint chips you can still see the original yellow-orange It is still a Lightweight at heart, in the engine and parts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a look and found a one on there but from the description it's not your one! They are lovely though, supposed to be one of the all time great drives Although, if you're in america, do you know what corners are?
