Thanks for your comments guys.
Willimo: "Have you thought about shortening the wheelbase, if you cut out some of the space between the door and the rear wheel arch, you could make it less obvious how far forward the cockpit is, especially in what looks is going to be a two seater. Are you going to do the entire back end from scratch? You could use a Modena, or a Boxster for the nice little bubbles behind the seats, and the glass over the engine" There isn't going to be much room once the V12 is in and the engine bay is constructed. It is going to be a 2 seater and I am going to be using the Celica rear end but thanks for the idea on the boxster rear hood, I will have a look around and see how it looks (was going to use the Mythos rear hood but I think the Boxster may be better). |

Re: Rear engine Celica project
looks good so far! is that whole piece sitting on the white styrene going to be a removable trunk to show the engine (or would it be a hood because itsover the engine)

Re: Rear engine Celica project
Hi Justin, the rear is going to be moulded on but the clear engine cover (may become body colour)will be either removable or hinged to show the top of the engine. all the cage will be viewable from under the car as there are no inner arches at the rear.

Re: Rear engine Celica project
This thing really has me scratching my head. Its quite profound. I dont really like convertables, the only ones I like are Ferrari Modena's. And even those I have somewhat of an issue with.
This project is quite intresting, I am intrested in seeing more. What about other asthetics? Will there be any?
