Building a kit - would you recommend?
Discussion
My Dad has always wanted to build a Caterham but I think they were always out of his budget. I quite fancy it myself and think it would be a great thing to do together. He’s 74 now but in good health, and I’m in the fortunate position that I could buy a Caterham (from an initial look I’d be leaning towards the 360).
I have some questions on the realities and practicalities:
1) Would a standard single garage be large enough, assuming it’s cleared out apart from tools?
2) What is the ‘real world’ build time? I live 90 minutes away so will only be visiting every few weeks, although happy to put in some longer hours when there.
3) How complex is the build in general, and what are the most complex stages? My dad is a retired Mechanical Engineer (coal mining) so I have absolutely zero concerns in this regard but just interested.
4) Any other general advice?
Much appreciated- thanks.
