Mother of God

Apr 22, 2010

This could have easily been a WTF Friday post but I don’t think that would have done this build the justice it deserves, this is honestly one of the craziest things I have ever seen done by a privateer and obviously I am not alone since jalopnik along with a number of message boards have already given it props.

When a talented 27 year old Quebec native combines an EG chassis Civic with a GD (I think) chassis Subaru on a shoestring budget of less than 6k the internet stops and says “mother of god“.

motherofgod2 — A Subaru that has seen better days for $1900

motherofgod3 — Looking a little straighter now

motherofgod4 — Instead of putting the Subaru running gear in a chassis it would pretzel this was done the other way round

motherofgod7 — Rocker and door jamb fabrication, man this guy can weld.

motherofgod8 — The Honda roof had to be significantly reinforced as Sub roofs are apparently quite rigid

motherofgod9 — The wheel base of the WRX is actually sorter than that of the Civic so the fender had to be made essentially

motherofgod10 — In the paint booth, looks straighter than a lot of stock egs

motherofgod11 — Fron end nearly complete, like the fenders the bumper had to be fabricated

motherofgod13 — The looks on peoples faces must be priceless if they realize...

motherofgod12 — The hitch rack is fitting really

I’m left speachless. I have no words to describe what I feel. I wanna say WFT! but that’s not enough

you are correct about the GD chassis part!

Very impressive, I bet the looks you get if they realize are ridiculous haha!

@Mattijin looking at it it doesn’t look like it could really go much lower I’m not sure how easy it would be to find wheels for a chassis reskin (or whatever you call this)

@N/Aontherun – I know right? It’s some next level stuff

@Wrex88 – I wonder if he were to rally the type of looks he would get also, lol.

@Jacob Dye

not to mention the fact it was rolled, look at the roof, it would have rotted in the junkyard if this guy didn’t come along and save the chassis.
