Well....I bought mine brand new from MNR.
Cost me a bit, thatīs right.
And to me itīs only a toy. Trackdaytoy. Have only driven 10 miles on the road.
But I still make the car better every day.
Such as better cooling, intake, mirrors, tyres, setup (!), seats, etc.
Mine is NOT a locost. Itīs over 20000 Ģ plus trailer and a VW T4 to tow it with.
And nobody but me comes even near the car.
And now I canīt participate on here anymore ?

But there is also a very good reason for you buying yours as the law in Denmark and Sweden makes it hard if not impossible to register such types of
cars...... if not build by a factory.
Four separate build stage inspections and that's only the start as they don't allow transit track rods to be used as ball joints

Either way, the point of them asking here rather than on blatchat/PH etc is that they value people's (well most judging for the OP) opinions
about what we would do. That says a lot more to me about the knowledge and nature of this forum than this thread................. 
I Agree......unfortunatly I have neither the time or expertise to build a Locost from scratch..So what's the alternative either don't have
one or buy something like an MK kit? I value the opinions of all the posts I have seen and posted myself. So alothough my kit may cost more than
perhaps you consider to be of value, to me it's a necessary evil to get something that I want to enjoy!!!

Well mine cost about twice my initial budget and not far off 30 times what the book that inspired me said it would,even so I'm proud of my car
and confident I couldn't of made,begged or stolen any more of the car than I did!I also appreciate every self built car I see even if I
don't actually like them.then again I also appreciate it when I see a rich guy who's fortunate to have enough coin to blow 100k plus on a
ferrari or the likes and had the balls to spend it!
