Custom Car Contest: Speedster V8.... 2CV!!!

[labandabonnot]

Just ot start the thread. Nothing done yet but planing...
The pictures will speak more than I can, I hope!

1: the poor crappy kit of Heller 2CV: no scribed panel lines, flaws everywhere... and no clear part nor tires in the box!
2: the engine and chassis I plan to put inside. You all recognized which one, I'm sure!
3: the wheels I plan to use: actually, the Tamiya Porsche-Boxster ones...

A lot of work to come! By the way, I'm not a putty user... I'll try to make most of my mods using styrene... Wish me good luck!

I've started to work on it this W-E, cut the Modena rear and front chassis to fit inside the 2cv one... I already knew I'd have to make the rear wings wider, but know I'm thinking of doing the same for the front ones... I should have named this thread "Hot Rod 2cv"!!! lol!
Pics will come later this week...
And thanks for the kind comments!

Very cool project, can't wait to see more.

[labandabonnot]

Tanks for the link and pics... but I already knew them... lol! I'm a fast and furious web-surfer! Anyway, I think what I'm planning to do will be completely different from those...
You'll have to wait a few days for the first build-up pics, I'm actually working on the chassis, and I may choose to build one from scratch, 'cause narrowing the modena one seems to difficult... and stupid! lol!
Good thing at this point: I managed quite easily to fit the Boxster's brakes onto the modena's suspensions...
