Hey Konjaril,

What are you planning to do with the parts you have ripped off the Contessa? I would be interested in a few. Can we meet up sometime in Pune on the weekends?

suhaas307 · 15th January 2010, 17:16

Guys,

Any updates? Pictures or information on the project? What's the progress?

Stumbled across this thread sitting in the office. The work that Sunil and team are doing is simply so amazing. Though I am a complete newb at automobiles, I always felt that the Conti had great potential to be transformed into a muscle car. Now that Sunil is working on this, I can't wait to lay my eyes on the finished baby.

O.T : Sunil, any plans on opening a branch in Bangalore

Looks promising Nigel. The exteriors are coming out very good but take care to get the engine, tranny and suspension assembly top notch, because that's what determines whether your creation will scorch the rubber.
