Motorcycle engine'd cars aren't allowed in Australia. Bike engines don't meet car emissions.
I agree making the car wider to allow the use of existing parts from small light cars is the way forward.
I think making a kit to convert an Ignis into a ute would be the most practical/economical way of creating a new MightyBoy..
Once the first one was Engineered the others would be easy.
This saves getting a chassis designed and engineered.
The cost of a bolt on kit for the change would be bearable so you may actually sell some.
I'm seeing my Engineer on Monday for our modified MightyBoy and I'll pose the question to him about designing a vehicle from the ground up and getting it registered.
I recently was involved in designing an extending semi trailer and an enormous amount of time was spent designing stuff doing FEA and then re-designing it to make it stronger/work/lighter as the case may be.
I've been modifying and having vehicles engineered since 1972 and registered an ICV in 2013 and the trailer in 2014 so know the pain all this brings.
Still an interesting concept.
