Her backside is very narrow

Just enough room for the number plate to squeeze between the lights

Or she doesn't have a narrow backside

Just big hips

Looks fab! This should take Mazda lingo to a new level. KODO and JINBA ITTAI make little sense without HIPS!

HIPS = Hiroshimas Intake Performance system

I see. Not to be confused with Hilariously Intimate Passenger Space, then:

Great detail there, looking lovely

Looking great! Love the centre exit droop exhaust. Perfect for soundtest.
Wonder what its gonna sound like?
Rotus...is it a He or She ?
Or neither....just a car..

Thanks Jon, look better with the diffuser on and the exhaust poking out.

I'm not sure what it is, I'm thinking he... I don't get any feminine vibes like Ive done with my classic cars over the years

Lines !

I haven't looked at the lines of the rotus from afar for 5 years. You get very different perspective up close. It's distorts the image in your head when it's been in pieces for so long too .

I hope I like it lol

It dawned on me this morning that's the original vehicle / title was registered 50 years ago this year .

He's looking good for 50 !

Lovely lines! My gut feeling is your modifications will prove to be an improvement on the original and that the lines of the Rotus will be even lovelier. The wider HIPS will balance out those looong doors that can look a bit weird on the original car from some angles. We'll see when it comes out of the garage! Exciting!!!
