another pic to put it in perspective
hopefully smaller if it worked

latest pic with engine sat in place

I'm no engineer but I think your chassis need more triangulations.

yes it would if it was finished. it is only half done i am just putting the engine in place so that i can work out where i need the engine mounts in the hope that i can incorporate them in with the triangulation.
did you understand that cos i confused myself half way thru writing it!

latest picture, just working out dimensions for seat rails in the floor etc

nice piture of my friend Paul.
hes 6ft1 so i thought it would be better having him sat in it than me at only 5ft6

Beware getting angles to acute with the cross bracing, not only does it make it less effective but it makes it a PITA to weld the joint together.

I know this from experience gained the hard way.

are you referring to the cross shape at the back, if so i am still playing about with that so it shouldnt be as acute, thanks for the advice.

been a while but heres the latest picture
