Not bad work - pistonheads are going to be fuming over that  .
I've always thought a replica makes more sense for most people - that just want to be seen in it. Use some of the spare cash on a decent kit car/GTR whatever  . |

Not bad, not bad at all
EDIT: I would never drive it, it'd feel stupid. 
I would like to have this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLMfInLSJPo 356 replica, using VW parts it's even ''better'' than the original car, that is much older than the beatle it's made off.

Fair point, can you show us some that you've made so that we know how to do it right?

Not a very well designed car, have a head on with that you're going to be wearing the engine.

Not really in the same league, is it - plenty of kit cars around that look like that. And yes, why is it so much safer in a collision than the McLaren rep? |

Sorry Wilz, not trying to pick at you here, but that seems a slightly odd sentiment from someone who rides motorcycles.
There are also plenty of older cars around today, built before the days of crumple zones and all the other safety considerations we see in cars these days, some with some very impressive performance. Their drivers don't seem overly concerned about such points.
The rep builder featured here is also obviously a very talented individual - I certainly don't have room to criticise. Nor am I in a position to criticise your build. Just that your post provoked a couple of thoughts (not easily done! ) |

I take back my point about it being poorly designed, I'm sure the guy is very talented!
The point I was trying to convey is that if you look at the side profile it reaches a very thin point at the driver feet, in a crash I would imagine it to collapse here. A locost was perhaps a bad comparison.

Note the McLaren pictured is the MP4, not the original F1 but the new 'plebs' McLaren.
I believe this is an actual F1.

I would expect any mid mounted sports car with decent weight distribution is going to suffer - even more so if the driver sits forward of other passengers. |
