Can't remember the name of the company have the mag at home and will let u know. They are near Sheffield I think
yeah 1k is bit low but if you follow the instructions and you are VERY well informed you might make it.......I know though I'm not hence why I prefer the ready packaged one ![]() |

I guess the question is 'How much do you love your Dad?'
Me - I'd make the kit car for myself. ![]() Espescially if it was a Cat 7. I've wanted one of those since forever - in yellow and green. ![]() ![]() |

sell your car, build kit car for weekends and get a cheap run around for the daily grind and for the dog to go in back.

eh! wheres my post gone?
Anyhoo, what i said was, dont think ever of using a caterham type car as daily transport, they are a weekend/occasional car. I would sell the Ibiza, buy a cheaper car, say 2ks worth of something reliable, and build the kit car. |

If it were my choice I'd go for either a Caterham 7 or a Westfield, predominantly as they have established groups who can offer help and advice, much like this place I guess. From experience of knowing people who have owned bith, they are nuch higher maintenance than a regular car and a lot more fragile. Fantastic if you have a second means of transport,

OMG Cobra's are just the most beautiful cars ![]() Good choice on the Caterham 7... they're simple, and the looks don't age... I say keep the KIT car for yourself. My dads friend has a quantum kit car, very cool, but slightly dated now ![]() |
