Yes. I once bought an unfinished project. It was a Dax Colvin / Porsche 911 Carrera. I finished it off, used it for 2 months, before someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse. It was powere by a tuned 1760 Big Bore VW Beetle engine. |

Siena: Seems I may be following your footsteps. I'm looking at a Bradley GT2 this evening after work. It's placed on a VW Beetle chassis. It's one of those things that it's fiscally irresponsible to pass up due to the price ( I think I can knock it down to $300 and it has a complete drive train). When you were driving yours, did it feel odd? I mean would I feel that it was a two piece affair and could separate at anytime? I would never abuse it due to being fiberglass but I want something that is secure.

If I buy a couple of kit cars and start shipping it ot assemble in Nigeria will I be considered a manufacturer? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kit_car https://www.factoryfive.com/kits/factory-five-factory-five-autumn-kick-off-sale/ This is the part of automotive world that helps the west people are free to do/build what they want. |

Siena: Do you have any pics? Would love to see how the engine sat in the bay. |
Re: Kit Cars by GAZZUZZ(m): 6:08am On Oct 22, 2014 |
Look at the size of that engine! This pic looks like if you hit the gas pedal the front end will take off leaving the passenger compartment behind 1 Like

I went to look at the Bradley GT2 last night. The VW pan was too much rusted for me but still well worth the $300 price though. I really need to learn how to weld. |
Re: Kit Cars by Readonee35L(m): 12:46pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
CityNG:300$ for that ride up there |
Re: Kit Cars by Nobody: 12:51pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
Readonee35L: Similar, silver color instead of gold. I've bought running cars for $100 before. I live in a wasteful society. I bought a 2004 Kia Rio for $300 two nights ago, 85kmi needs head gasket. The tow truck driver that I sent to pick it up offered me $1,500 for it. SOLD. |
Re: Kit Cars by Readonee35L(m): 1:31pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
CityNG: Wow.. kinda cheap oh and what kind of running cars did you get for $100 if you have good offers of vehicles kindly notify let me patronize you |
Re: Kit Cars by Nobody: 7:33pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
Readonee35L: They were ex postal service trucks like the one pictured. I bought them just to get the engine and transmission out and I then sold the bodies for scrap metal. The problem with cheap cars is that everybody is looking for one and they literately sell within hours and sometimes minutes. I use an app that scours Craigslist and alerts me as soon as a new posting comes up. Even then I'm still alarmed as to how quick and how many times I hear the dreaded "sorry I just sold it" comment. If only Nigeria didn't have the silly age rule for cars.

CityNG:oh thats great ohh the way you are hunting the cars with less focus some ppl hunt for them as a source for there daily bread |
Re: Kit Cars by Nobody: 11:34pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
Readonee35L: When you enjoy something, making money from it is fun. These are the two apps I use. I get instant alert as soon as a new listing that meets my requirement is made. Then the phone calls start and the "I'll pay your asking price, consider the car sold, I'm on my way"
