yea has to be black out of those ones alright, if only i could use photoshop then i could do a mock up in BRG for myself, could you do one in BRG are
will that get you the sack? 
i think middy with east-west setup will be the way forward for locost alright

IIRC the bloke built the car and then kept on adding bits until it worked. Hence the side pods and such things. He has also toured the continent in
it. And even went on his honeymoon in it if my memory serves me correct!

No problems there - bike engines and Freelander diffs!
Spin 'er off Well...

theres still plenty of cars out there with the right bits just price will start to go up more and more as they become more collectable untill the
80's almost every car was rwd, lots of bits to go about dont worry we are a minority us car builders

With just a bit of photoshoping that car could be made to look pretty good I think. It just needs some cleaning up really.. perhaps change the
windscreen a bit... I'll see what I can conjure up... I shall return!

There ya go, it looks better already.. not much cosmetic surgery was needed... I removed a seem in the bodywork, changed the window to a flat-top, and
tilted it back a a bit more and I enlarged the back of the cabin a bit..
"Fixed" version:
Red:
Blue:
Yellow:
BRG:
Silver:
Gold:
Although I usually dispise golden cars, I actually quite like it on this model!

Could someone please scan the article? I don't think we get that magazine here in the Netherlands (definitely never seen in in the shops...)
Does the guy have his own website with build diary?

I'm trying really hard, but it doesn't work for me.
Se7en has a bit of class due to the cleaniness, but this is just someone who wanted a middy AND a se7en.
Funny thing is, none asked BHP or 0-60, just "wonder if it looks better in red"
But I do fancy a sixties F1 with a bike V8 ... grrr...
Cheers

I agree - 60's F1 revisited could be a winner

My biggest issues are with the ridiculous bugeye lights and the Sevenesque windscreen. The rest of it is decently clean, but those warts plus the very
vertical windscreen - blech!

Dont you just Love this site... this thread was like Linux for Cars... all hands to the pump, and idea's bouncing about..
I applaud the guys effort, though I dont think its that elegant. Still better than no car at all.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards

(long time reader, so I feel at home  )
I think he complicated the design: to much shapes and lines... A better use of colours or materials can help make the proportions work: what to you
think of this?
(or this, respecting the frame: )
Cheers!

Nice Smart Roadster!
Seriously though, with other front lights it would look really good

I noticed that he placed the engine longitudinaly in an extended rear but kept the long sevenesque nose.
By giving it a logic dimension to that setup, I think it makes a difference!
(sorry for using and changing your images, guys)

I don't like the shortened versions at all. The original design is still best, though it definitely needs a proper paintjob, and some new
headlights.
