Pull the motor out and put it on a go kart. :lol: Now you have a Formula 1 go kart!

Big problem with car engines is the shaft drive, it's easier to use motorbike engines with chain drive for go-karts - also they are a more sensible size :lol:

hm yea 800 cc aint much for a car but quite a packet. it's a matiz 3 cylinders

I was thinking highly gearing the alternator and running on min revs

Put the parts on eBay. You'll probably get more than the insurance company wrote it off for!

My friend and I did that with an old 91 grand prix. He plows his and his neighbor's driveway with it in the winter.

Make it ur shootin car! If u have guns that is.

you can try rebuilding it. maybe not as good idea as the last one but the most practical and wont involve a big bang (coming from the petrol tank or gun barrel).

turn it into a biodiesel

just get a diesel engine and replace all the hoses with some rubber that will hold up

i saw this once on dirty jobs...great show

guy made fuel from frying oil.....he had a bunch of equipment though.
