update to my last post, i have found that a seventh generation toyota celica is quite possibly the best chance that i have to a donor car. the specs are almost the same size wise, and the rear hatch will reduce the amount of cutting i would have to do, unfortunately i'll have to modify the steering column to match the position of the steering wheel in the lambo. also the windshield is almost the same size as the stock lambo windshield  so i can save a few $$ on that until i save up for a real one. comparing both 3d models in 3ds max shows that the front "Hood" *in my case* would clear the stock motor and trans in the celica. which im okay with as ill be making minor adj to be able to maintain the stock motor and trans. the doors line up fairly well, the front doors would have to be shortened a little to match the same size of the lambo doors. the only problem i can see is the depth of the floor pans under the dash. i'm not too sure how much room i have to push the firewall into the engine bay without interfering with any drive train or anything. if anyone could provide some photos of how much room is behind the drivers side floor pan and the transmission in a 7th gen celica please feel free to share.  *in the photo above, its hard to make out but there is a toyota celica and the lambo on top of each other. you can see the difference and what type of modifications i need to do to make this transformation work. if i have to make a custom "ram air" style hood to make it clear the stock motor and tans i well. * let me know your thoughts. keep it real guys!  *Imagination should be the center of your life*
