Different body style
I have spent about an hour searching and reading up on alteratives for locost chassis.
I want to build a car with a Golf engine + Gbox mounted behind the driver, but first need to find a body that will allow this configuration. Tapering
nose, wheels inside the body, no doors and a high and big back side.
Any body seen someting like this?

I'm pretty sure Robin Hood, tried a seven style car with the engine+box behind the driver,base on a metro engine+box if i remember correctly.
don't know the model or anything sorry.

I don't want a car that looks like a locost. I am buiding one so once it is completed the next car must be someting different.
Someting like a small Lamborgini. But with the wind in my face and the South African sun.

You ought to look in the Mid Engine section, then, where at least a couple of guys are building their own fiberglass bodies. Doing nice work, too,
but it makes the builds go slowly.

If you wanna wait a few months I'll have a chassis design (well pictures at least) that will suit your needs.
If not have a word with steve grabbers (sgrabbers)
Who the f**K tightened this up!

I still have 6 months or so to go on my current project. I am just putting some feelers out. I need to find a suitable body before I start to design
my chassis. I want the chassis modular. Front end, cock pit and enginebay come rear end.
Keep me in mind when the reality starts.
