Full-bodied Locost?
Just wondering if its ever been done, as in a complete f/g body over a Locost chassis.
Its just that i'm thinking of endless possibilities for my new car, and considering just dropping a body similar to a Quantum Napier over a
widened, lenghted Locost.

Full bodied car
Mmmmmm great minds think alike, wuz contemplating the very same subject the other day, had thought of the lotus 11 type body but looks a bit
"old hat". I have a vision but not got space to do the jig yet for the plug yet I need to clear some space and move some boat moulds
about a bit, but its on the list of things to do 2004. However I suspect to get the proportions looking right the car might need to be a wee bit
longer. Then again when ya look at the Lmp lookalikes why bother going to all that trouble it might just be as well with a fresh sheet of
paper

The WLR is built on a modified MK Indy chassis

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Chris and Mike
Looked at them already, nice as the 11 is its still dated, and notwithstanding the cost of producing a decent plug/mould I HATE buying someone elses
stuff if I think I can do it myself. The trick is a) finding the time b) producing somthing that make u go instead of a big bit of jobbie u all
laugh at

A car that has fell out of the ugly tree, and hit every branch on the way down.
IMHO......
Dont just build it.....make it!

Can't believe they've actually sold any of these

Was hoping we'd seen the last of that car!

OMG
ThaT is SOOOOOO nice!!!!
Right then, I think im set on my new design.... Locost 8" wider, 4" longer with a copy of the WLR bodywork 
(BTW, ive sort of come to the conclusion that a full Le Mans replica is just too much for the street, because that is mainly what my car will
be used for..

I found this pic a while back, don't have any more details than whats in the pic. the body is apparantly dropped over a standard westfield
chassis (which isn't too different from a locost)
Ned.
 
full bodied westfield
beware, I've got yellow skin

Possibly somthing they knocked up to try and sell some for the sports 2000 series, looks good though dont know how robust it would be in use.

Mmmmm.
Not only does it look like a steaming pile of freshly excreted shyte, it's front wheel drive. Poor thing. Never stood a chance.
The design deities were clearly angered that day and decided to wreak a viscious, painful and sadistic revenge on mankind. Designed by beating
plasticine with a shitty stick.
