We bring in a Datsun 280Z and take a look at how it handles on the road and how much power the 2.8 liter makes before we start stripping it down to begin our heritage transformation.We tear into the powertrain and freshen up the engine before converting the automatic transmission to a sportier manual setup. Then, the crew makes body modifications that take on some JDM styling cues.We also upgrade our 280Z's suspension to give it better handling.

It’s hard to make a DJ5 Mail Jeep cooler than it already is, but Carcass managed to do just that and build an off-road monster that delivers on its mission of conquering any terrain and keeping its character in the process. The guys sought a unique right-hand drive project that could maintain its allure no matter the project’s direction while providing the off-road performance few vehicles can match on the trails. They did this by stripping down the retired mail Jeep and starting from scratch.
