Might help if you gave some indication of what type of body you are looking for, saloon, open sports, Le Mans style etc etc My Furore is mid engined, but I doubt that's the style you're looking for!

GTM Libra is pretty close 90.9" wheelbase and mid engined - http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/datasheet/37/GTM_C...

Elise s1 is also pretty close at 90.6" you can often pick up front and rear clamshells for these on Ebay.

Depends if your mid ending is transverse (most FWD card) or longitudinal (Audi/Passat/Boxster/Impreza).

This is an interesting read as well if you are looking to go into production rather than just a one off for yourself - http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

or there is this one already to go if you have deep pockets - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BALLISTA-RACE-KIT-CAR-BO...

Porker 356 soft top - this could be made to work but will need stretching (84" wheelbase) - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fiberglass-Porsche-356-c...

Sorry chaps,more imformation. its a midtec spyder 2.1 pinto inline renault transaxle bodywise, i like the classic dino shape , but also ultra modern. if you google exocarbon concept, the side view of the white car looks good to me!! my background was boatbuilding and plug making,so not afraid of sculpting something different if i get the time. cheers paul
