I wonder how much rollover protection the wobbly front roll cage legs give?

There's some very "interesting" "engineering" "solutions" in it, for sure. Check out the route the gear linkages take, the height the engines have been mounted at, the dummy rear axle is "genius". and that's just the stuff you can see.

+1 Quote"Seller" can be easily converted to discs So why hasn't he, I would have thought building a machine like this Brakes would be pretty much up there on the things to change list. What other little Engineering details have been shortchanged

What this advert tells me is that you're using the wrong Honda engine and too few of them. Fix it.
And the wrong donor car.

Donor is a very apt word when describing this car, as I am well sure you may become one

The roll bar is made of modelling clay so that was easy.

That "cage" is lacking pretty much every strengthening brace required to make it useful. And the bend round the dash would buckle instantly in a crash

That'll be the least of your worries when the 2 barely-bolted down motorbike engines, associated chains and sprockets plus dummy axle, running at 12,000rpm break free and simultaneously crush and shred you

'Electric reverse gear' ah, I see what he did there.
Twin rad fail though 
Yes, it was the wrong donor car; he should have done it to an estate and badged it as an RS. It's made me go and look on Youtube for a bike engined 126 though
