It does seem a shame to chop up a Beat to be fair... maybe a rotten MR-2 would be a better shout?
I won't be adhering to any dimensions of the donor car necessarily, it's more that it will be easier to get it insured afterwards if it's started out as and still is a "mid-engined, RWD Honda"... I have a pal who's wife works in insurance though so I'll quiz her on what criteria would be most advantageous to maintain if possible...

I think I’d just be worried about various limitations from a kei car. Surely the chassis will be fairly dainty as they weigh so little? MR2 deffo seems like an easier starting point.
As for that wannabe Ferrari monstrosity, just whyyyyyyyyy?!

MK1 MR2 I'd say. or spriget
Seems wrong to kill a beat or a cappucino. But the diahatsu cuore.

They’re fairly rare aren’t they? Few on eBay/classic cars, but they all look in fairly good nick/too nice to just butcher for a donor chassis.
Are you not worried about size limitations? Kei cars are proper small after all!
