I still don't get fronts that flip forward. They just get in the way when you try and work on the engine.

well it would be easier to flip it clear of the car then lift it off rather than lift it up and off at once? imo

I wouldn't have a flip up one, it's skared enough seing how much a bonet deflects up at speed. I had a flip forward front but it totally got in the way, that's why I now have a removable front and traditional bonnet. Best of both worlds. But aye flip up fronts give me the fear. I'd rather the inconvenience of a flip forward front for the safety improvement.

Great work going on. But it'll be as heavy as a Celica by the time it's finished.

I wouldnt say it's a huge amount. But clearly they arent building for lightweight.

They're aiming for a fully loaded, road appearance car it seems.

ie no cage, and all normal road car bits n pieces. I especially like the electric windows.

Rear boot lock....I'm sure it could have been done better though, as they're now totally reliant on an electric solenoid to open/close ?

Stevie, I thought the 90-degree twist latch is still there, but they are just using the solenoid as a lock?

It looks like he's removed all of the original mech in the boot lid itself and just created a slot for the half moon to rotate into
