Interesting build. though my plan was to more or less leave the front end alone (other than the usual aero improvements we all seem to do), chop the back off, rebuild the back end to the aero template, tear dropping down from the top, and in from the sides. I would relocate the seat to the center, move the parking brake lever to the side of the seat, move the throttle and brake pedals to the 'passenger' side, leave the clutch where it is, and build some decent sized armrests/consoles on either side of the seat. The shifter would stay between my legs (I've tried this straddling the seat, it's easy enough to shift.
The reason for this is it would leave the structural part of the cabin where I would be sitting intact, and as cheap as these cars are they still must have passed some sort of structural safety tests right? I had considered adding a cage just for my own comfort, but I'm not sure if it's necessary.
The only part I don't have a solution for yet is the steering wheel, and that might be as simple as extending the center steering shaft depending on how the column is setup, haven't looked into it yet.
