If you haven’t been following the Mongrel project here on BANGshift, then shame on you. It is a bad ass little ride that is built from an old English Ford 100E body that has been channeled over a Mazda Miata floor and chassis. Of course in Great Britain, where the Mongrel was built, they call the Miata an MX5. Matt from Urchfab is the brainchild and sicko behind this great project and a guy that knows his way around a race track. He built this car from scratch in his own shop, not only fabricating the parts and pieces required to marry these two cars, but also the cage, custom suspension pieces, and so much more. There is a lot going on in this “simple” little track car project and I’d drive the snot out of this thing.

Whether you are a fan or not, anyone that knows anything about cars that handle curves knows that the Mazda MX5 Miata is one fun little go-kart of a car. Sure it’s small and cute and that makes it not very “manly”, but when you wrap one in the body of a boxy little English Ford, then it gets much gooder in a hurry. Check it out on the road course for the very first time below. It looks like a riot.
