Agree with you Spyder.
I'm not fussed on the front end, and the rear end just looks too heavy to me [V].

I absolutely suscribe to your opinion and Fl spyder's.
Making the tr7 look shorter, fatter and heavier looking is going steps backwards... i find it pointless.

I liked their design approach to rear bumper. Notice the top edge parallel to ground,wheel to wheel, very simple: Doesn't have "Tokyo Drift" teenage Civic look [btw, "Jap" is racist word in English] Anyway, don't care for the W VA fronts, but you might get some ideas...
You didn't like my nerf bar idea[8D] ??. But I live close to the city, and have fear of SUV parking damage. Maybe removable nerfs...

I like the pics you found Tom. I think the designer was influenced by ferrari's scaglietti. The front looks nice but its not for me. I like the back but i wouldnt make the rear bumper paralell to the gound like you mentioned. I like the angle that triumph did. I still am working on the bumpers. I have all the burners full. My emails are little busy too. I am not sold on the nurf bars. I think to much of speedster or bug.

he has some nice stuff in his collection and i like his website. as far as the front its not for me. ive seen a few cars with that front end on it. i guess we all have different interpretation of what the 7 should have on its facade.

The rear end looks good, like that [^].
Don't like the front end [V], looks out of proportion to me.
Love the engine bay stickers of the three women [:p]. Mmmmmmm [:D].

What can u say, TR7 design uses sharp edges and angles, kit is curvy and has panel gaps worse than BL [V] Dash reminds of of the Mg Maestro.

Clearly very impressed by those stickers, or you should work more often on your wedge.
It's the boot lid [:p]

Beans, I was just wondering how long it would take for someone to spot my deliberate mistake [;)].
Well!...that's my excuse anyway [:I] [:I].

hey frank,

great idea with the motor i was going to put the 2300 motor in mine but i opted with continuing my project with the turbo buick v6.i think you did great with the body, although you probably could sqeeze some bigger wheels in.

i think a mercedes 190 motor would fit and look nice in the 7's engine bay.

i hope everyone gets a new set of panasports for the holidays. also i have to thank john walsh for helping me with a driveshaft.

... Hello nellotinnirello

[:p] Get a Saab Aero Turbo with the 2.3 liter turboengine from 1994 - 1998 (later engines are not as strong) you can put a Opel Omega (Cadillac Catera,) gearbox .. as you can to get 300-400 hp out .. the engine has chain-driven camshafts! Low weight and high power solid strong for what 6 cylinder?
