Small BIG changes

Well now. 
I didn't have much time to spend on the modelling and engineering lately, but this is what I came up to:

1.Some re-engineering for the rear of the frame
And that's pretty much it. 

The thing is, I never thought where the fuel tank would actually be. I just knew it supposed to be in the rear of the car. The time came to think about it. Properly. So, the volume of gas in the tank should be about 25 litres. I opened my frame, and the first thing that came to my mind was *aw crap*. There was no space for it at all. So I had to make the rear bit longer. Quite longer. Now because I changed the tubing in the rear, I had to modify the big long tube that goes across the car. That means all the other tubes had to be changed as well. 

When I remodelled the rear, I've noticed, that my car looked like a pick-up truck. The problem was, that the rear end was too far away from the ground = had too much ground clearance. Looked pretty stupid, to be honest. Again, I had to lower the back of the car, which meant I had to modify all the tubes again. 

I ended up with:


Some design changes as well:
