Below is an extract from Simon's kit car build diary - to read more, please visit his web site. The Dream My story started back in 1978 when as a spring chicken, I bought "some kind of home made kit car" from a friend of my then girlfriend. It was the typical fibreglass body laid over a VW Beatle floor pan scenario. It had a massive 1500cc power plant that would blow the pants off only another 1500 VW. What it did do however, was lay the bait that would reemerge some 20 years later. There was no escaping from the wind through the hair, close to the ground, totally exposed sensation that only an open top car can deliver. All that experience was locked away into the "ambition" brain cells with the plan (dream) being to build a real kit type car "later in life". Every once in a while I would purchase Kit Car Magazine just to maintain the dream. As they were full of American made Cobra kits, a Cobra became the pipe dream. With that dream came the need to have heaps of $$$$. This was the main reason that the idea has remained dormant for 20+ years. At one stage I even searched the Internet for "kit cars", but as I got bombarded with crap links, I gave up. Unfortunately I didn't actually know the name of any kits to be more specific when searching. |
