At first I thought you meant Front Wheel Drive.  I've seen a couple other of those around the web.  Poo.

Just reminded me if I had the machining and fabricatings skills, I'd take out the V8 in my rust bucket cougar, and plop it into my Daytona for the justfication of puting a sticker in the rear window "Powered By Ford"

As for "Why"? 4 fun!  It's a diffrent offroader to your standard jeeps :P

What a waste. :yuck:
Somewhat reminds me of a moron around here with a mint 68 El Camino body on a 4x4 truck frame. Looks horrible.

Yeah thats pretty gay right there.  He totally should have put bigger tires under it ya'll.  :hick:

I agree what a waste.  At least the car appears to have been a POS from the get go.
