bodywork
No idea if it is feasible on something the size of a car, but a motorcycle YT I watch made bits of bodywork using SS wire welded to make a frame, then super glued cut up t-shirts to make the rough shape. Once that "soft" frame was made they painted resin on the fabric and then fibre glassed and filled properly over it all.

I definitely appreciate it's a fairly mammoth undertaking alright and I'm conscious of not making it unpleasantly difficult so I think it may definitely be a better idea to try and utilise some existing suspension from a donor car and working from that but it would be nice to read up on it all first to have an idea of why I'm choosing a particular donor car and why it works well!
I feel like removing the actual suspension geometry from the equation makes it a lot more manageable possibly? I don't doubt the bodywork will be a big ask too, I was loosely thinking kevlar would be a good way to go but again I'm only beginning to think about this whole idea for a project so I'm not in a rush to get started until I've done the homework and come up with a good plan that should be achievable rather than diving head first into something I'll never finish!
