Interesting drawing of modifications...

In the link, you have also the pic of the front and the back of the car flipping to reveal the inners

Remove the front crash bars and roof tire and I'd buy this if it was a kit in a heart beat!

I would rally the **** out of that.

This is probably what a factory rally X would have eventually looked like if Abarth had developed it for international rallying.

It appears as though the basic X1/9 body shell still retains most of its original design/style. Meaning a conversion like this could be very possible.

I want those rims... Obviously in a 4 bolt pattern...

For those who are too lazy to click the link, the other drawing with the front and rear open:

We aren't too lazy, we just don't know how.


just kidding

Me being a close follower of the Safari, I too would buy this if it were in kit form. Thank you for sharing.

At first was going to make it in metal, but that is too complicated. So am making a mold for fiberglass.

Am not 100% sure should I make this louver hood combined with spoiler. Rear end of the spoiler is supposed to be opened.

This could come out actually a bit similar to Carabo. in some way

Made sketch just to show You what I meant, and that spoiler looks good, thanks for opinions

 

[Dr.Jeff]

I like what you did in your sketch. And I like the spoiler as part of the cover. But I'm not clear what you mean by the spoiler being "open"?

This is a good solution for the one-piece engine/trunk cover, while being unique and truly custom.

This section is also planned to be opened.

I see. I'm not sure if that will be of much benefit? Might be good to keep it solid.

 

[DanielForest]

I like your sketch. Don't know about the open spoiler. Nothing against either...

I like the design. It looks pretty nice.

Someone built the Splatos a few years ago. It was a Lemons race project.

I have finally finished the design for my conversion. All CAD'd up and ready to start 3D printing the frames and start had shaping the pieces. My Design will keep the rear trunk functional but remove the engine cover with the new bits. Will all be done in carbon fiber all but the horizontal slats of the louvers will be done in dark smoked plexi.
