No access to one of those at the moment but was giving serious thought to getting a chassis made for me and doing a mix of all my favourite bits from the various cars.
I was liking the idea of using a Zen front end but something happened that has stopped me in my tracks a bit.
I have been racing a mardave for a long time. the front end is so worn that the wheels have serious wibbly wobble. So I replaced the worn bits to reduce the 'problem' to much more pleasing moderate wobble and, to my surprise, found it rather tricky to drive.
I have done all the usual things like polish the pins and make it work smooth and fiddled around with the balance and wheel alignment and there is no doubt. it definitely works nice when its half knackered.
Maybe am using too much castor angle and the car improves with wobble. Think I may reduce the castor.

Anyway, Schumacher definitely interesting now they have a proper back end on the car.
If you do the above it would not be legal and you would need to confirm your club would allow it to run. There is a carbon full option GT on the face book page for £100 but it will not be there long
