DIY car-The Votus

So what do you get when you take pure inginuity, some metal tubing, sheet metal and an old volkswagon engine? Well you could build your own car modeled after a lotus, and call it a votus. That is exactly what these guys did.

My artist/DIY friend Brook Halvorson is collaborating on a Lotus inspired, Volvo powered, low-cost Lotus 7 replica that they have dubbed “The Votus.” The car is powered by an early 70’s Volvo 1800 (2 litre, 4 cyl.) drivetrain (hence the name Votus). This merry group of tinkerers have put together their cool ride from scratch (not from a kit!), and I think Brook has done a great job of documenting the process with his unique humor.
