ok, I know I'm dragging up an old thread here, but I thought it might be worthwhile as most of the knowledgeable people have already posted, so easy to get their attention
I'm seriously toying with the idea of a kit car at some point, possibly soon, and building it as a 2nd car while I keep my pug as my daily driver. My dad has built 2 Robin Hoods (yeh, we know how poo they are) and a Dutton, so I've got help/experience there if needed.
However, I REALLY love the AC Cobra replicas - I know they are more expensive - but does anyone have any experience of these? Are they harder to build etc? Again, I'm an IT bloke with little mechanical/vehicle experience (although a baseline knowledge I suppose) and I think I could probably get my hands on any tools that I require.
So I'm sort-of in 2 minds - either but a cheap as chips Lotus7 replica just for experience and a bit of fun, or go all out and buy, in stages, a decent cobra kit.
Any thoughts/comments/suggestions? Cheers folks
