Well Lee I would like to see someone do a Fiat 600 Multipla. But they are hard to find these days over here.

Hilman Imp would be the same as the NSU. Would have done one if I had not had got the NSU.

Has to be the Stiletto model.

Danny Allegro/Maxi not to sure about that.

A couple of reasons one being I had one about 38 years ago, in fact we went to the Motor Show when they introduced and they arranged a test drive in a Sunbeam Imp but could not afford one then. :-) The other reason I prefer the back as opposed to the Stilleto, just not keen on that shape fastback.

There are plenty I'd like to do! Always fancied an early '60's Corvette roadster with a pair of IDAs sticking up through the rear deck! It'd really upset the V8 boys, and it would be so easy to do with a floorpan, like a grown up beach buggy! Closer to home, an MGB would be interesting, GT or roadster, and better size-wise than a Midget. I wanted to put a Type 3 subframe into the back of our old Mk1 Jetta, but the others from our unit wouldn't let me!
There are plenty more...

Next work to do is to finish off the welding and put a new front panel on as it's had a hit in it life. Also going to make the rear panel removeable for easy access to the motor.  Then a trial fit of everything just to work out where it all going before paint.
