Great Scot!

I think that you should consider cars which have a large installed base of current drivers - example, Ford Escorts (I have a LX, am considering making parts for it) - I don't expect to make a fortune off this project.

The more of em there are out there on the road, the more potential customer base - making parts for an Insight is to me sort of mad - only 18k were made!

The more common the vehicle the better the possibility of sales - and the more wasteful the current beastie is, the more room for improvement.

You need a vehicle to 'experiment' on - I would think that it would be cool to do a freebie 'prototype' for a friend, in order to have their vehicle as a 'model' for new molds/parts.

Your idea is a good one to me.
