It's been a while since i last popped in for any updates, looks beast! lovin the fiesta comparison too! wish I had the hatchback , great tanks on it as well...

Will look fantastic when its on the road!
Anxious to see how the seating/peddle/steering layout will be. Guessing that you have left the nose as a crumple zone?
I'm gonna guess your integrate lights as best you can?
Maybe a bit overkill, but are you gonna add a cross sectional tube to the frame behind the seats? A side collision(hopefully never) doesn't look like there is much of "margin" compliance if hit at a higher speed..


If not, What kind of thickness tubing are you using for the frame? as a basis for my own project (eventually)...
Also have you looked into Formed Plastic if your budget allows for body work (here and there)?

staying tuned! (better this time)
