Is it possible!!!

[stevieb]

To build a kitcar in a modern garage? The garage is big enough for a Volvo XC90.

I have foolishly got 2 order forms infront of me know and i am seriously considering building a kit car.

My options are with a Westfield based Kit or going for a Subaru Power Murtaya.

I have never been out in a westfield, so i have nothing to compare it against, but i have been out in a Subaru power murtaya and my god was it quick. I like the options on the Westie as i can but in i a number of build packages but the power of the Murtaya is a real draw. I am going to the Westfield factory ina few weeks for a tour and hopefully put the deposit down on the first stage.

I am currently 60:40 in favour of the westie (Megabusa), but now just trying to see if i can cope with a small single garage.

Anyone done it here before

Thanks

I suspect he won't say no. But you'l have to book him through his agent (that's me). My fees are measured in pints of evil black stuff

I have built Robin Hoods, Ginettas, Locosts, Locusts,and sundry other Kit cars in garages. Its perfectly possible and I am about to start on a Single Seater racer.

You will need heat hoists ramps jacks but it is possible.

Keep to a small car physically the Seven type kitcars are ideal narrow body and short wheelbase help enormously. Good Luck

My Main aim is to get my 2 sons involved in the build.

Hi Steve,

I managed to build most of my westfield in my single garage. The biggest problem i had, was when it came to the bodywork, Storing it and fitting it but there are ways round it. More than happy to meet up for a beer amd have a chat.

I've built a lot of Kits in a single garage for my sons and myself

I can't help with the size question but just wanted to add that I was looking into building a Westfield kit last year (it hasn't happened due to funds and moving into a flat with no garage) and the guys at Westfield are very friendly and helpful, particularly the guy (sorry can't remember his name) who was on the stand at the Festival Of Speed last year.

One thing is for sure with the megabusa,

the engine is just about bullet proof and there are shed loads of cheap spares and tuning bits available at very sensible prices. A well tried and tested engine and lots of knowledge freely available.

Ok then, I've have probably done a foolish thing, but as an update I am hopefully speccing out a Ultima GTR build. Order form wa sent a while ago.

Working away is a pain in the backside, but only money now will hold up the build!!

Very exciting times Steve. Btw, we still have the BBQ/kids day out Mk2 to organise, we'll have something non-child related to talk about
