Thanks chaps. Chris suggested the Porsche as a start. I can see how that might work, but the hunchback would be a bother to deal with as I would love to do it on a Z3 or MX5. I think WCAs short nose version comes close at the front, but the lights would need to be recessed a la MX250.
Given that I may not have to modify the mechanicals too much, that only leaves the bodywork to resolve - still a big ask for a complete novice. Any suggestions on how to learn about glassing other than the university of You tube? Also, where to find the Porsche Coupe shells at a reasonable price (I've checked the kit suppliers).
I could do my original idea of a kobra rear with wheel bulge extensions towards the doors to smooth out the muscles look, WCAs short nose with modified lighting housings and something like Roadster's targa top (more glasswork learning curve).
Probably would look nothing like I imagine though.
