Aixam cars

they use a similar type engine. I think theirs' is a Kubota diesel same as is used to power refigerator units on lorries. They don't show any pictures with people in them but these cars are tiny two seaters.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

What sort of suspension do you want? How much engineering knowledge have you got? Can you weld properly?

All make a large difference as to what sort of suspension to use as some designs need a lot more design work and fabrication than others.

If you want somthing pre-made then maybe the suspension from an old mini would be suitable, very simple and suits a light car, can be converted to coil overs quite easily as well. Only downside being that its a front wheel drive car.

Your first problem is finding a rear wheel drive (I assume thats what you want) donor, that you can take the hubs from, once you have decided on that, you can decide what sort of suspension to use.
