Its just not really in the spirit of a Lotus Seven copy.

If its the same project that I recall, I supplied the chassis for that build, after quite alot of work reworking the chassis tubes to the builders wishes it was / is a shame it came to nothing.
I,m all for people trying something different, but as Deezee says, sadly most that do tend to lose interest & the project fails etc.
Tho, i,m not convinced that a 4x4 seven style car is the way to go ( INMHO), as the idea in my opinion is for a well balanced car that can be driven & controlled with delicate "right foot" use to be JUST on the point of the rear end breaking lose in a controlled fashion so to speak

But, all just my own opinion of course
