Can you advise me?

OK, I know you have all been asked this question before at some time, but I want you opinions on which car I should build for my first project.
  • It should be easy (ish) to build
    It should be cheap
    It should be something I could use on the road (so SVA complient)
    It should be good for trackdays and possible racing.

I don't want much, do I?

Once again, this is my first project so easy cheap and fun are the main requirements.

Thanks

Advice

Choose whatever tickles your fancy, can't go too far wrong with a 7, (westie,robin hood or any of the others). I built a westfield 7years ago :eusa_clap: , it was my first kit and it was easy :eusa_doh: . Only bit I didn't like was electrics but I never have had a thing for electricity :eusa_doh: Apart from that, great car and eminently suitable for a trackday or fast road car. Next door neighbour built a Robin Hood, it was his first as well and he had no problems.
It's down to personal preference really, what style you like and what you want to get out of it.

Thanks Guys

To be honest I had been thinking of a seven myself.

Ever since I was a kid I've wanted to build a cobra replica, but perhaps not for my first build.
