Who makes a front transverse engined kit?
Discussion
Thanks for the feedback Graham. I'd have replied earlier but have spent the weekend fitting a secondhand kitchen into a fifth-hand house!
For this version I was looking at just a rear body and front clip, which would probably have to be hinged because one person trying to remove it would have a bit of a battle on their hands...
There's the possibility of quite a lot of boot space but I'm wondering if that would be necessary for a trackday version - extra expense and weight. Same applies to doors - none in the above pic. The road version with a screen would probably get doors and boot (roof type TBD) but the cost and weight starts to go up of course.
The drawing above was modified from another sketch of the car with a Fiesta screen which I need to get cracking on.
The concept's based on low price and one donor, so getting the balance between cost and function is critical, and what I'd like opinions on!
But since this thread was about FWD kits in general perhaps I'd better start another thead...
