just out of interest... who bought their car built and who built it themselves?

Built it myself from a Kit - does that count?

another built from kit here.

Scratch build.

Scratch built - pretty much "to the book".

building a kit. wishing i'd bought a caterham

Bought it. Knew that I would have neither the time nor the talent (as witnessed by my LSD conversion project) to do the whole job.

But love driving it and meeting like minded people.

You also need a option for both.

Bought Westfield

You need a built but with bought in help at the tricky bits option

Scratch build over here

scratch built. enjoyed every minute of it other than badly burning myself on a burst radiator pipe.

i would like to build an ultima but they dont do a scratch build one and putting a kit together would feel like cheeting

Scratch based loosely on original book, a few years ago now!

Built an MK Indy over 3 years. Superb learning experience and one of the most satisfying things I've done - so far.

Drove it for 2.5 years and recently sold it to fund a new project which will either be another 7 or a RWD 205.

If it's a 7 I'll be looking for a part built kit to cash in on someone else's outlay even if i strip it back and start again

Scratch build and just been out in it half an hour ago as the tax runs out in a couple of days. Feels extra special driving in the dark

Built (from a kit)
ETA - not the usual engine choice so there was a reasonable amount of extra work to do as parts were not available off the shelf

Scratch built to book, want to do another, maybe my own design / skelatol ? with modern engine

Bought (actually bought 2), although I'm enjoying doing the engine change and sorting out some of the other problems the original builder has left, probably learned more about cars in the last 6 weeks than the previous 20 years.

I checked built, but thatīs not going to happen any time soon.

Building from a kit.

Bought a part built kit, still a work in progress.

same as nash and dan

option 3
bought part built

i made a scratch build and got it driving, but scrapped it without SVA as it was miles away from legal spec. Then bought 2 complete ones, both gone now.

Built Sprint Family from kit with little manufacturer help as it was one of the first.

Took a little over 2 years enjoyed the build even the problems great sense of achievement when you overcome them Passed SVA first time now thoroughly enjoying it with wife and kids

Scratch built 2 and helped build another 4, greedy I know
