Built from scratch . . .

You are quite welcome to either love or hate it, but the first Furore F1 was very much a one off, chassis was originally a Formula Ford, but finished up so heavily modified & extended, including new suspension etc. that I don't think Hawke would have recognised it. Powered by 2 Kawasaki ZX10 engines, one driving each rear wheel (no diff) & bodywork was made by myself from sheet aluminium & fibreglass.
Hi,
My husband as a learning curve took the first steps by designing and building his own bodywork which fitted the Riot chassis (the Wolfe zxr).
He has now completely designed and made his own chassis and new bodywork for our 2nd car which will be on track at the end of March(Wolfe tg02).

Any chance of some pics of the build and final results?My husband as a learning curve took the first steps by designing and building his own bodywork which fitted the Riot chassis (the Wolfe zxr).

It sounds seriously interesting!
I built this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UKvu-ukiR0&lis...
The body is made up from genuine Lola Mk 1 bodyshell from the late 50's or early 60's.
I raced it in a grass event with the South Hams Motor Club in Devon when we lived there and sold it via Piston Heads 4 years ago and I hope its made it to the road.
I am now building an turbo charged MX5 Lotus sevenesque car that also has no known kit car parts in it. This one will get finished though.

Another area worth looking at for custom build inspiration is the “formula” Society of Automotive Engineers competitions. Often called Formula SAE or Formula Student depending on which country you are in. I think its “FSAE” or “Formula SAE” in Australia, USA and most of Asia whilst Europe goes under the formula student banner.
Have a read of this if you are interested…..
