Right, the reason he cant adapt the bodywork is that its designed for the engine to be at the back with a transaxle. Donor car for engine would be audi/vw/skoda 1.8T. Using roadster suspension etc

The back panel has even been made so you can leave the top rear chassis tube in too...

Ben is there enough room under the front body of the 2000 to fit the engine and if so is it possible for them to make a bracket kit to adapt the 2000 body instead of a whole new chassis to plonk it on the top.

I realise its a race car body but what a road car !
