View Full Version : Kit Cars
Whats everyones thoughts on these?
Im considering doing one instead of rebuilding the turbo engine in the Nova, but unsure at the moment.
Easy to build for a competant mechanic? Reliable once done? Best kit?
Im liking the look of these:

I reckon it could be built for 10-12k. Imsurance isnt a problem.

google search robin hood kit cars. they are nice and cheap kits
imho (and experience) I wouldnt touch a robin hood with burgos knob.
Look on eghey, loads of part finished kits going for about ?5K with engines etc and they arent the poo 1700X-Flows either.
a Dax would be the mutts nuts to build but would rock in at way more than ?10K :(
Im pondering getting a part finished kit and sorting it as im bored and tinkering the VX is futile
Rally Design do this Panther Kit car and you get basically everything for ?6k.
Westfield. Loads of part finished ones, and kits avaliable.
Go down to the factory (its in Kingswinford >Dudley > West Midlands) and have a looksie at some ;)

A guy on another forum I frequent is building one of these: http://www.marlinsportscars.co.uk/marlin_sportster.php
They're based on a 3-series bimmer and I think they look great.

a mates dad has an old R reg marlin with an MGB lump in, goes fairly well. not my cup of tea though. we also have a kit car comes in at work, think its a westfield, with a 2.0L zetec motor in. thats a fairly smart car, goes like stink!
