Heck yeah. A stock 245 has ~50/50 f/r weight distribution, and with a few tweaks, corner weights can be pretty even. So not only are they sideways-able, but should be reasonably predicable in handling, I've done it at ~40mph in snow and it was decent, other than the open diff.
 
Got this to put in over the winter.

NPR intercooler, the large version, chop chop.

And I also got my hands on a parts car, its an 82 244 diesel, 4-speed. Payed $200 for it but the motor is mashed potatoes inside.

Well, it looks like a 244 covered in dust and primer right now hehe

I have most of it sanded, welded a patch into the antena hole and some of the trim holes, stripped all the sound deadening on the interior cause thats getting painted aswell.
 
Twat color?!


Anyway, awesome work! Looks like lots of fun, keep it up! Can't wait to see what it looks like when the paint's done.
