Ultimate kit car project

Nearly roadworthy

I would have said more like 95 or 96% completed

More like incomplete. Wants to sell the rest of what he has at extra cost. Yeah right!

It's hardly 95% complete if you then have to buy the rest of the body separately

WTF is going on with those top wishbones? Run far away.

oh dear god!

i don't even know where to start. perhaps by throwing a dictionary at him and telling him to check his spelling!

it also says you only get what's in the pictures, but it says it has a weber carb...........there's not even an inlet manifold on the engine.

why's there a big gap in the top of the rear bulkhead?

as fred said, run away and then when you think you've run far enough, run for another 15 mins just to be sure.

Shocks and springs look to be set too stiff.
10-15hours work left - guffaw

Feedback looks to be a work of fiction.
Current bid of 99p sounds fair though.

Nice motor, and very local to me too!

If it stays that low I might be tempted to buy it and break it for spares. I think I'd weigh the bones in though (just so I could sleep at night)

most of you have been trhough a build so can clearluy see the faults but I don't think there is anything that cannot be rectified with an introduction to Mr A. Grinder and Miss MIG Welder. A closer look would probably reavel more horrors as it is hard to see how good the chassis is welded or if all the chassis members are in the right palces.

but if you are a first time constructor then buyer beware as always.

depending on the final price it could be a bargain; guessing £ 500 max?

those top wishbones are definitley f*****ed up and the lower ones look a bit thin.

Im pleased his mechanical skills are far far better than his education would suggest.
