Having done a lot of fiberglass, I have learned a few things. With regards to the wheel arches , It way easier and more uniform , to find something, to use as a mould, that is already the right shape, or can conform to the right shape easily. Plastic is a great thing to use, firstly because the fiberglass doesnt stick to it, but also for its flexability. If you look around you might find a garbage bin , lampshade or whatever that just fits perfectly , and can be copied four times.
Glad you're redoing the center notch, "unrefined" describes that well ;) For the rear wheel arches, have you considered cutting on the horizontal body line, and then just extending it outwards to cover the wheels? You could blend the door into that, or just put a mild backwards rake into the extended body section. Could be an opportunity to add venting and radiators. An idea for the front clip could be to split it down the center line, but then also cut perpendicular across the vertical edge of the headlight bucket. The two resulting front fascia pieces then lengthened to cover the wheels, and the rear two pieces angled so they line up with both the extended width front fascia, but also with the door jambs. I hope RUclips's algorithm will pick your channel up soon, because it deserves to be seen. I've watched your whole Mosquito series from beginning to now, and can't wait to see the first drive when all that HP meets the lightweight construction.
@@OliverPickard As you've said in earlier videos, you've been planning this build for most of your life, so you'll probably build something very appealing and exciting. And I'm looking forward to it!
@@OliverPickard I'm having Mosquito to Morris Minor thoughts but you'd need to add a bit more than the 4" that took. I then start to think about Porsche flat nose fronts. There might be some Porsche fibreglass wings around that could be adapted.
Looking at how that body is personally i think you would better off just cutting ans shaping that one then making a mould off of it, then you could make a new body with a consistant thickness and adding reinforcement where you want. Not to mention that you could keep the moulds and pull a replacement if there is ever any damage
Looks so good. As a fan of ludicrously flared small cars I can't wait to see what your flare solution will look like. You know bodywork is getting serious when the Jigsaw comes out!
If I get it just right it'll look like its always been that way and every other GTM will look undernourished haha. speaking of, have you given up making videos? Here you are getting shout outs from Donut and leaving it up to me to hold up hyperlight car RUclips singlehandedly haha
This looks ridiculous. As in ridiculously good. I love the smiley face, reminds me of the frog eye sprite but in a menacing way. Really enjoy watching this evolve
I hope that you will show a good proportion of the bodywork build. I think that will be a very interesting procedure. A great video as usual. Thanks to all involved.
Dad and I have worked together forever and we always make a point of listening to each other it's why we never argue despite having very different personalities
Brilliant video, very entertaining and very much looked like you enjoyed making it too. Big thumbs up for the smile, looks similar to my Frogeye and MK3.75 MX5 only loads better.
Having done one or two body swops on Bodysnatcher I know what fun the Gtm body can be to fit, especially the doors. Like your new grill 'smile' though you have to be careful it doesn't become a cartoon smile.
The new front end is so much better than before. The trouble with putting the body on is that I then start wondering what the final colour scheme will be!
Great video again, that tweek to the front grill makes a huge difference👍 I know your bodywork plans are under wraps. but having had to di similar to my Mini Marcos I can recommend the use of Builders spray foam to give you someting to sculpt. It carves easily using a carving knife and sand paper etc. I left my foam in place as iy weighs nothing and laid GRP over the outside and inside to give a very strong structure. Those spider cracks are caused by stress or impacts, I've not heard of sun causing them though it can bleach out gel coat pigments. Youll need to grind out the cracks and repair with GRP tissue and reinforce the rear of the panel. Look for a book called How to Repair Fibreglass Bodywork by Miles Wilkins (ex Lotus), Ive been following his advice for over 30 years and not suffered any recurrence of cracking
I can’t tell if you should have made it even more terrified by having the front cutout curve downwards instead of upwards or not. I do love the happy frog look it’s got going on!
I was thinking you'd go bugeye Sprite as soon as you mentioned the grill. Granted the headlights are still in fender at this point. Hope that's not a spoiler for you.
It’s just gotten very cute, a good thing I reckon because people will at least start with a smile when they spot it in their mirror, for the second or so before the v tec kicks in and you hit warp factor 3 as you go past.
The way that you grind a good wheel arch...Increase the front clamshell from its back, instead... You'll have a ton of work now in order to find the space necessary for the headlights ...
I would not be surprised if you end up using the modified shell as a mould, you know that you want to do a full carbon fibre shell... Works Escort style bubble arches might look good on it, and you would be amazed at the stiffness the shape of the front ones would add to the clam.
It's going to look better once the front arches are on, if you had left it the same length as before once those arches are on it will look odd. Talking of archescare you going for a blended in look are the bolt on like the Porsche 924 GTS? Also I am getting a baby AC 3000 ME feel to this creation which when you think about was originally developed in a similar time period. Its looking good lads keep up the good work.
Looks freezing awesome ! I know that you guys weren’t going for this look but you might as well go for it in my opinion have you ever seen KEN BLOCK’S hoonipigasus Porsche 911 I think it this body work will flow perfectly with your build awesome project your hard work is definitely appreciated it in my behalf the amount of meticulous work is flowing perfectly grate job guys !
Thank you so much. My car had the bumper deleted by a previous owner but the GTM coupe has quite a bit of 911 to it so I'm not surprised it draws comparison. Obviously I'm taking inspiration from a ton of different places but it's really important to me that we don't copy anyone overtly
@@OliverPickard trust me when I say this your project is far from a copy it is so unique in so many ways. It’s just the body works will definitely work just because of the width all in all I’m excited!
Rather than cut great chunks out of the front clamshell, you should have lengthened it to center the wheels in the existing arches. Cut off the rear of the clamshell behind the wheel wells across the bonnet in front of the windscreen. Fill in with new fiberglass. That way the wheels and the headlights won’t clash, and you retain room for the radiator.
That would be the easy way yes but there's a way to do it all without making the car bigger and no matter what the arches would need removing because they are far too small
The front end is definitely better. I'm thinking you would do less work and get better results to raise the top line of your lower body valence- about 30mm in the rear and about 17-19 mm in the front. That should give you a bit of body rake as well as fill all those open holes. Love dad's Old school methods- no fancy smancy measuring or horsing around, just get it to fit!
Nothing is fixed in position properly yet and obviously the body still needs more work but part of fitting me in the car was reducing the visual body rake
Fantastic as always. 2 Random questions Will you fit Led headlights? Have you considered some vertical air-dams type devices at the front of the front wheel arches?
Love the build Oliver! Just a couple of questions....when the springs are at full compression i.e. fully bound are the shocks right on the bump stops? And why not move the bonnet forward by 15 mm to give more clearance on the wheel/headlight interface? Probably not a big issue building the rear of the bonnet backwards or indeed extending the main bodywork forwards?
Thank you! Your bump stops are there to stop the shock before the coil binds and the spring rate goes to infinity 🫨. Making my tiny car less tiny to solve a problem I created would feel wrong and to make it look right you'd have to make the headlights illegally low
I was thinking along similar lines. With the larger wheels sitting further forward than the Mini based original, stretching the middle of the bonnet to keep the wheels centred in the original arch ... would you really notice that the bonnet had been lengthened. Surely you will be looking at the wider arches.
You probably should have cut and just extended the front end to make up for stretching the front. It is really going to make doing the front arches really crazy with them being so close to the front end.
There are many times in this project where making the tiny car bigger would have been the easiest way to solve a problem but then it wouldn't be a tiny car anymore. Also it would make the headlights illegally low so I'll have to get creative
Well, when you're putting headlights on that, once you put some like Jeep Rubicon headlights, they're low profile. They're pretty slim and they're LED lights
Well I know they got other different type of headlights. Are low profile and slim. Just giving you a ideal because how close the wheels are to the light holes but you don't really accident job. I enjoy watching your videos. If I have any more ideas I'll definitely send it your way. Good luck brother!
/ * * * * Slide the front end forward , then you can easily add material to the cowl and the rear of the fenders . This allows you to correct the door fitment . Only cut above the tires , not ahead of and behind , remember the wheels travel along an arc upward .
Its a good idea but that would make the head lights illegally low and make my tiny car bigger which kind of ruins the point of building a tiny car. I've come up with a solution which so far no one else has suggested probably because its very French and a bit nuts. Wheels don't travel in an arc with double with bone suspension that's what makes it awesome but I really appreciate the thought you've put into this.
That's the easiest way not the best, you'd have to add about a foot! My way will take about 6 times longer but it'll look like it's always been that way when it's done
I like the new openning, it reminds me of the Lotas Elan. Are you going to duct the coolant air from the radiator out the top of the hood (bonnet)? Are you considering an electric pump to move the coolant from the radiator to the engine? I don't know if the pump on the engine is designed to move the coolant that far. Mike Satke, St. Louis, Missouri, US.
Oliver, you really need to practice squats! You never bend your knees when working on the the Mosquito. Better work on it because there are still many episodes coming! XD
i know this has had to of been said before... but every time you say your name in the beginning of these videos i go "of the U.S.S. Enterprise!!" EVERY TIME... like i cant un hear it any more. it makes me laugh so hard every time. i don't mean this in a mean way. it just happened one day
@@OliverPickard Shure, makes sense. And I assume (again LOL) your diffuser / undertray will protect the diff. from ever grounding out. Looking good, keep at it...
as already mentioned LED headlights maybe your best option they have a flat back with little to no bowl needed.

Mosquito looks so happy now! Like it'll just go "WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" when you start it.. 😃
😊 Happy is the best form, shape, for your pride and joy, because your happy people, the car deserves to be happy all year round, excellent video

This thing is gonna look ridiculous in the best ways. RWB style flares, this thing will look pure business and be all pleasure.
Who'd have thought that chopping a bit of fibreglass out of the grill would have made such a difference. Great job again guys

Its surprising how much of a difference cutting the grill makes to the look!
I hope that you will show a good proportion of the bodywork build. I think that will be a very interesting procedure. A great video as usual. Thanks to all involved.

And God said a man must have a shed/garrage to employ ones skills to make the ultimate toy ....way too much fun to be had!!!
Some great progress, despite doing what appears to be just a bit of trimming. Getting a good glimpse of what’s to come, I’m intrigued to see more.
It's nice to see it come together and I'm so glad we discovered the rear suspension issue sooner rather later
The project looks better and better on every new video👏

LED motorcycle lamps for headlights. Super shallow and lightweight

I won't be making my tiny car any bigger. a ton of work is not something that scares me 👍🏻

No bolt on arches here although they would look cool. If we get it right it'll look like it's always been that way
Cant wait to see this dope machine running
Me either
As you have not a lot of clearance on the headlight bowls, consider LED instead of Halogen as the heasink protrudes less than the parabolic reflector.
I can't give it that smile and then give it spider eyes though can I haha
19:28 I would run just like that .. the answer to sweaty summer balls😂😂😂😂
