This is just my opinion, so if you have the time, space and skill to design and build an entire car from scratch, without plans, go for it. But most people who come on here with crazy plans, based loosely on the Haynes design, lose interest very quickly when they realise how much extra work is involved and how hard it is to redesign the front suspension.

I do recall a similar project, but the guy was using a mondeo V6 in a transverse position, again based on the Haynes design. The chassis was such an ugly monster, suspension totally butchered and the engine was so far forward I doubt it got very far. He certainly stopped posting on here. Its just not really in the spirit of a Lotus Seven copy.
