I say do it. It was a fun project, aside from doing the poly motor mounts.

DO you take it to the tracks a lot? If you do, stay with the auto. If just for fun and street driving go for it.

He will be ok as long as he slips, not dumps, and as long as he doesnt put real tires on the back he could probably get it to survive for awhile. Thats what im hoping for until i can save up for a new rear.
