The adjustable spoiler is so bad that it is actually cool again :lol:

it wont entirely balance it out I did think about this not with a 3g but I did think about using an electric motor up front with an autobox and batteries that would balance it out and make the short journeys really economical :lol:

Hey time for an update
Progress been a bit slow with this mainly due to awful weather
Has taken ages to strip the legend down and label all the electrics for future reference
Anyway here's some pics
Engine and front chassis set free from the leg end

So basically just left the engine and drivetrain attached to the legend front end and cut a massive hole out the rear of the lude for it to fit
Next step is to build a new frame in the rear to tie the lude body to the legend chassis
Then there's only 200 things left to work out lol
I'm also going to use the leg end dash as I want to use the clocks and switches as it will match up to the leg end wiring loom and it should look quite sweet almost nsx'y
