Ok guys..what about this?

[meerkat]

A pro designer from California sent me this idea....very little changed from my basic shape...but I love it.....what do you lot think?

[Mark B]

That's better, get you files and fibreglass mat out and go to it!

[Size Nine Elm]

That looks really nice. The lines of the front wheelarch seem to flow into the slope from front to back much better than before.

Go for it!

[suparuss]

well, here is the first thing i muttered to my self when the picture popped up on my screen- "F@#k me!"
that is very nice, i really hope you can pull it off!
i really cant say anything negative about the body work from that view, but i think it will benifit from twin hoop roll bars.

Good luck!

Russ.

Now thats proper nice!!!
Would look mean as hell in purple/blue.

Do it.

[Chris_N]

Wow - it looks great!

The tweaked design takes the look of the car to a whole new level. Will it be easy for you to make the mods to the car?

Now that's more like it, got anymore pics?

[dontlift]

Excellent get building.

BTW if you need a pro website doing I can help you out drop me a mail via my profile

[meerkat]

Oh no don't pick on my website now....

Joking.., cheers....

It's seems this new idea, although not far removed from the basic concept, is far better received....

[minimax]

love the shape - I'd have it in black definitely I'd second the twin roll hoops though. Just my 2p

btw have you got to the how much and what engine stage yet?

[Mr2Mike]

Wow, what a difference those sides make! I think youd have to do some strengthening around the back of the front wheel arches with that size hole cut out!

[meerkat]

So far, on this prototype the running gear is all MR2, but will offer other ex.FWD options....Target price in the UK. is around 6k basic kit.

Basic concept is a trackable street car, not totally practical of course, but street legal. (seven idea, if not looks)

[BCA]

YES! superb, a curvier version of the current basic shape, looks lovely. It'll be a huge amount of work, but definately worth the effort - looks about ten years younger now IMHO with more modern styling. Out of ten I will now give it 9 until I see what it looks like with lights/painted.

like i said to the previous post lines needed to flow better, and on this design they DO!,......

I want one

[meerkat]

OK, minor update.

The guy in California (Cliff Iwai.....remember you heard it here) has agreed to help out more with the restyle. I will post more of his ideas when I get them.

Thanks for all the positive feedback so far.

[meerkat]

For Minimax.......

Please do, I'll look forward to the next installment! It has been fascinating to follow progress.

Just a thought on the roll bar - how about housing it in some sort of aerodynamic moulding so it looks a bit more integrated? The sides could be sort of buttressed (if that's the right term? ). A bit like the ones on the Coram LMP and other similar cars.

Chris

Edited cos aerodyanic ain't a word!

Chris, yes I'll probably end up doing something like that....perhaps doubling up with another bar at an angle and then having a fairing over them....

Thanks for the input...

[suparuss]

i like the way the roll bars are in your avatar meerkat, looks much better.

Russ.

[spartan_andy]

When will it be ready. What about a BE variant?

PS agree about the twin roll bars
