From here onwards the car started to take shape, though it still didn't look that good, but it was never about looks. We wanted to keep it light, get some good amount of space in it to install the rear motor.
Here is what the rear end of the car looks like, we used iron sheets again. Ofcourse, we got it painted later on.

We also mounted a small triangular wooden dashboard on the front so that we could fit in the gauges (speedometer, fuel indicator, battery indicator, etc.). It can be seen in the pictures above.
Also, for the record, we didn't use any kind of prebuilt hinges for holding the covers of the front and the rear hoods, it was just two thin iron pins that were welded to both the sides of the covering sheet and small circular holdings on the sides where they were to be held. It was not very efficient, but did the work. Wait till you find out about the locks.
