Yea, that's the look.
Do you have a link to a "how to" raise the engine - where the gear shift is still in the tunnel.
Would you cut the glass body above the tranny?

The best site that I've found is KCW.....it's not really a how to do page, but it' gives tonnes of pics and ideas.

If you wanted the engine and gearbox higher, you would have to look at cutting a but. But 2" should be more than enough for the average Joe, I can't see myself slamming the speedy as low as what some of the americans do it.

Apolgy ---- It a T2 tranny nose cone not a T3. I think that's the key to drop. Where to find a T2 tranny? The bracket is easy to make.
I'll ask around....

I found Type 2 nose cones for 64 euros.
Type 2 is lower on the gear shaft.

Hi there
Leaving them as is. I didn't get the glass fibre panel for the rear. So no covers.
It doesn't look that bad. I have a small flat seat at the back in the same colour as the front seats.
