hi all, been reading a few threads (Rosco's - nice build , so clean!) for a while, decided to start a build. I'm in the Derby area.
Have a locost MK ( many parts from one of Ebay for £300) but fancy building Haynes.
Not sure which way to go yet ?

What do you fancy doing with the car? A nice summer ride around? Road & Trackdays or full on Competition? I think deciding on that would help you decidie which way to go.

If you fancy going for a competition car you are more than welcome to pop in for a look at my car. (blatant sales pitch I know)

I am just north of Derby and have a Stuart Taylor. If I can be of any help let me know.

Why do you want to switch to the Haynes?

Fancy a road going car, doing the odd track day. The locost is part built, came with a lot of parts! It has a p100 axle a lot of sprung weight. Do I just bite the bullet and build a Haynes frame (irs) or finish the Mk build?
Thanks for feed back guys
