I think Stot on the Haynes forum at present may be one of the fastest.

The top gear muppets built a Caterham in a couple of hours, although I am extremely glad it never made it on to the road...

Scratch built a Haynes roadster in a year. Basically equated to almost 5hrs a day, nearly every day for a year. I made virtually everything other
than stuff I could buy for less than what it would have cost me to make. It was a hard year but the reward at the end was well worth the effort.
Anything With Tits or Wheels Will cost you MONEY!!

100mm longer in the foot well as I'm 6'3" (ouch) any ideas for body work? I'm really struggling wether to build out of ali
sheet or just order the body kit?? i know what will be more satisfying!! but have you seen the weather!!??
