Heritage shell, multi-link rear suspension, RV8 front suspension, engine and transmission from a late model sports car, everything else from various BGT parts suppliers.

Lunacy, or?

Refreshing. Most people have asked why I don't start with an existing car. To which the answer is because I can choose the ride height, the exhaust header routing, and not have to worry about rust and/or a misaligned shell.

North of £30k. I can assemble, but lack some tools so will have to rely on buying complete assemblies in some instances (gearboxes for example). Plus, I'm useless at painting and upholstery.
