4. do you have a way of getting rid of body flex with RWD?

you'll have to fabricate some rails to attatch the front sub frame to the rear sub frame

full roll cage would be the best and "easiest"

not to mention a full custom rear suspension.

Have fun converting the transverse engine mounting to non-transverse.

You know, you could just go buy a freaking rear-wheel drive car.

Why, exactly, do people gravitate to reinventing the wheel?

/waste of time.

How about this idea...

A rear engine Bonne??? I know for starters it would take a lot of wiring, a custom steering setup, some frame supports in back, etc... But, you could stick with the stock engine and tranny. Well, modified stock...

But, if you're gonna "Monster Garage" a Bonne.....
