Yeah, it doesn't look like they have done much other than some really cool body work.

You'd need to start with a series 2 chassis - i dont think there would be any other way to keep the lights on the grill.

move the firewall and engine back (could probably leave them in the original posistion, but a mid mount engine would be the go)

spend about 12 months full time building the front guards / bonnet

bobs your uncle.

I really like the look of the longnose - but yeah with series running gear it would be very scary and dumb, but it's the sort of thing that wouldn't matter 'cause it looks so cool.

I dont know about the green thing, it really looks like something Toad should be driving. (a very bad colour?)

I'm very shallow - to me, looks are always more important than substance, especially with cars.
