Very nice, I have seen these based a Nissan "Z" car.
This one is far superior as on a space frame:)

So many out there these days. If I do this I want the older classic look. Will be trimmed to suit if I can get away with it.:)

Out of sight & mind! So many more examples spring to mind too!

Do I qualify as young at 42:D I never grew up actually;)
Aging is mandatory:(, growing up is optional.:D

I built one of these JC Midges in a previous life :D It cost 900 gb pounds "on the road" It was basically a plywood tub skinned with aluminium, bolted on to a Triumph chassis :eek:

Lots of bits were scourced at the local scrapyard, I fitted a 1300 spitfire engine with twin carbs, mgb wire wheels fitted with huge van crossply tyres :D. It went rather well :angel: and used to slide beautifully round corners. I even took it to track days at Castle Coombe Circuit, which was scary.

The best thing though, was that as it used it's donor's original chassis and running gear you didn't need any sva tests etc. just an mot and away you went. What great fun..........
