And don't forget to look at production mid-engined cars for ideas.

So you have no requirements of your own? As long as it's mid-engine you'd build it? Sounds like you're looking for all the issues to be solved for you , so I'd recommend picking up a kitcar magazine and start reviewing the ads.

Are you going side by side or tandem 2 seat - I'm currently building a new tandem 2 seater chassis to take Toyota MR2 Mk 1 bits, will have body panels for same (similar to current car - see my avatar) available later this year.
