Default subaru powered projects...how many?

been trawling the internet looking at subaru powered projects

there is a few more than what i initially thought to say the least

so far ive seen:-

a focus
mk1 escort
mk2 escort
rear engined rwd escort and 205 off the same person
astra mk5
i seen an astra mk 3 at mallory
one cortina on the internet and one that i know someone else is building
and a quad

only looking as im planning on doing one myself and looking through to see how and what different people have done

for this one i think im gonna just sort of throw a body on top of the subaru floor pan to and for what shell im planning on using there is just under 3 inches wheel base difference so it will probably look a bit of a monster but at least it will still handle like a subaru

however if i actually finish it and all gos well il either space frame one or do the usual cut and shut to lose the extra wheel base (il do it properly)

so...

if anyone has any detailed build threads they can post the links to or pictures then please feel free haha

if anyone else is building one then good luck to
