sorry for the delay, i've been spending too much time on pistonheads
. The alien had evolved from the picture you mention, but all work stopped 2 years ago when I moved to Germany and the car stayed in England
. I should be returning next year, but in the meantime I have had many ideas on how to finish it, and slowly details are dropping into place, eg windows, roof, but certain parts are still not decided
. I dont think i can finish the design without seeing the car in the flesh. When I moved it from one garage to another in January, it was the first time I'd seen the front from a distance, and the 206GTi headlights that looked so buggy from 6 feet away look really good from 20 metres, and the front 'bumper' and scoop area look OK. The smiley face in the bonnet must go - ugly
.
The boot area is being dropped a little so that the 'Max Power' wing
will sit better. The rear Puma lights are a real pain to figure into the redesign, so I may swap to separate round brake, indicator and fog/reverse lights
. At the end of the day (or year..) I would expect 80-90% of the bodywork to have been reworked.
A change to 18 inch front, 19 inch rear wheels would fit the design well (
). I also hope to move the exhausts so the exit high, bit like the Ducatis (etc) of recent time, which will shorten the rear overhang.
I could post some rough sketches, doubt they'd be of interest though.
Improving a kit car? . . . Question for Vojx
.
. But it wasn't wasted effort, cos it threw up some interesting design details that can be refined. 
BMW engine (no idea which model has such a thing).
