Default Kit car using Ba donor?

Hi guys. I've just spent half hour searching on here and google and cant find it anywhere. I remember a few months back someone posted a Kit car using a ba as a donor and I'm keen to have another look. Anyone got any idea?

Cheers.

I thought it was a bit different but I can't really remember. It used the interior and all running gear and was topless. I can't find it anywhere. Maybe I dreamt it?

Top job on the craftsmanship but looks a bit out of place

thats quite incredible but looks quite costly to me - as in very costly, and the loss of a back seat is a deal breaker for me

That's awesome! I want one. But not now unfortunately. Maybe in a few years after I've built my units... A cheapish project for what you are getting!
