Hi all, a couple of months ago a good friend of mine had a accident in his Kitcar, the car is a write-off and he's gutted about it.

 

Does anyone know if it's be possible to make a model replica of it using this as a basis:

This is what it would need to look like:

Just thought it'd be a nice way to keep the spirit of the car alive so to speak.

The Dutton takes a lot of lines from the 7 so I shouldn't see why it couldn't be adapted. A couple of bits of plastic card here, and some trailer arches there ;)

 

You beat me to it mate!

 

Exactly above, would be fiddly though and alot of trial and error. Id be looking at the front muddies of say maybe a 2cv or beetle heat em up and shape em :thumbsup:
