They look a bit cuter to me now than they used to & that one apparently escaped rustville!
What's the plan, chop, no chop, fenders or not, shove a Busa up it's butt?? Are you done with the Ute?

Was the Renault 4CV the one nicknamed "Porsche's Revenge"?

Dr Porsche was held in a French prison at the end of WW II and the French authorities demanded that he design a Peoples' Car for them as a condition of his release.

Perhaps he was thinking of the Festiva?

Yeah you got it Stainless, to me a pickup has a separate bed & cab while a ute is a unibody.
Carry on. 8-)

keep an eye on the welded cover. Some of the motorcycle covers are cast aluminum and looks like it welds OK, then the parts just fall apart :x

or you could bore a hole in a cover for a seal and use the trigger wheel externally...

Excellent!
Have you seen Tony Foale's remarks w/r/t closing an open space with a 3-dimensional tube assembly (as opposed to single plane)?
He suggests that making a pyramid in the intersection reduces "racking" with almost no weight or space penalty.

BL, be care full of that transmission to drive shaft adaptor.
We ran a "Busa" in a 29 roadster and stripped two of the out.
Made our own out of steel , never had that issue again, even with a Turbo.

OK I gotta ask... where was the original engine location?  behind the rear axle?
Maybe I'm reading it wrong... but maybe you should read CC requirements again...
Could be I don't understand... not a door car guy  :cheers:

Page 75 of the 2021 Rules Book "4. "Driver shall sit COMPLETELY ahead of rear axle, inside the body and behind the engine, except in rear-engine cars using the original engine LOCATION."  Looking at your pictures, there is not a lot of real estate for your seat, firewall and associated roll cage to get all of you "behind" the engine.

Just a quick clarification question, are you sitting in front of the engine or fully behind it?  Page 75 says COMPLETELY (in caps) behind.  If you are in front of it, doesn't the engine have to be in the original location, behind the axle.
