Perspex floors? No floor?
If a bolt is stuck force it.
If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway!!!

I had a thought of the floor one a while back but dismissed it as scary. Or doing the whole car in Macralon so you could see the engine
ect!!!!!!!!!!
You want it when!

You know how cack 7esque aerodynamics are?
So how about
Great big Clamshell shaped wings that flap about at 65mph, make a bow wave that you can't break through and create light steering...
Balls,, I fitted them already.

Buy a Viento, fit a suprcharged 5.5l Chevy V8, turn it into a monster truck.
Fit a small gas turbine engine to a seven.
Fit cockpit-controlled inflatable sponsons,
a hydraulically-driven steerable prop, water proof it thoroughly and create the worlds first amphibious seven.
Extend the chassis (a lot) to make a four-seater.
Fit the James Bond kit (ejector seat, machine guns, rocket launchers etc).
Airbrake flaps a la F15/16 fighter, for those occasions when you really do need to stop.
I need to get out more

Add a sidecar for extra seating or storage space
Or you can add an anchor to aid in stopping

Mod your locost so the wheels bounce up and down when you are stopped at the lights.
The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.

By all means, but use polycarbonate (lexan) rather than plexiglass (perspex), as plexi shatters when impacted (not funny), while lexan stretches but
does not break. Well, it doesn't break every time

Or get hold of some manouvering boosters from a satelite (I think they're called lems) attach to car pointing sideways linked to computer then
see how many G's you can pull in a corner.

Eel ectrick Hybreed...Heel-Heck-trix HI Bread?
How about 75hp electric DC motors on each wheel. All wheel drive....with regenerative braking and huge battery pack.
Enclosed cockpit with gullwing doors added side pods for improved side impact and a hatch back. Since it's closed cockpit a
"carputer" running linux and "Myth" as a media player with wireless connectivity to update your movies and MP3's.
Oh and for a paint scream....think rice....
And 19" spinner rimms with low profile tires...Oh Yeah I forgot the matching trailer that holds a generator and extra fuel to boost range, of
course the paint sceme and tires match the car.
(runs and hides before people that throwing things)
