Well basically im getting a lock up garage from my local council because i want to start a track car build. At 1st i was deciding between a 205,classic mini,etc. But now im serously thinking about a kit car for the sheer speed of the things and the rarity.
The car will be a work in progress over the next 1-2 years. It will be a track car until i decide i can insure it(im 18 just now).
Im also a mechanical engineer for a oil firm so i have basic knowledge of everything electrical and mechanical.I can also weld a little but i would want as little(referably none)welding needed as possible.
Right well the kind of style i like is the tiger r6 type.
But my question to you bunch of (hopefully) helpful guys is....
Whats kit car options do i have?Can you give me the cheapest ones to go and investigate?but i dont want it to be cheapy(if that makes sense lol)
Thanks alot

Cheapest way is probably a LowCost or Locust. It's a seven lookalaike. You can even get plans for the chassis and there is a book by Ron Chapman. It's a bit of a challenge though - you see plenty of part finished (and possibly bodged) ones for sale on Ebay.
