Definitely looks purposeful!
What colour do you plan?
Can't see any way that front will open, or close, using the standard hinges.

Lovely roof chop and AWESOME flip front, never seen one like that. I'd say definitely fit some massive arch flares or wider arches at the back...
Looks wicked man, look forward to seeing more pics

Also have you built this on a space frame chassis or have you modified the existing monocoque?

Looks grand, so a more robust version of the monocoque sort of I guess?
Are you mounting the sub frame from the donor car onto that chassis then? it looks like there is one sitting underneath the rails in picture 1
