CHEAP classic/kit/fun cars

I would build a smart busa if the sub frame kits weren't so expensive.

 

I've been seriously considering this, how do you like yours?

 

I love mine. It handles like it is on rails with just stock Miata suspension and has enough power in the twisties with a stock 1.6(could use a bump for the straights)

The only reason I'm thinking about putting it up for sale is to build out my basement. I'll probably build another when I finish the basement.

 

Given time, a place to do it and even a smidge of mechanic aptitude I'd like to do the following: a grom with go even slower parts, an alfa romeo 75 and a TR6.

Ultimate would be a Lotus 7 clone from the frame up or even a 993.

 

This fits in the classic/fun part, not so sure about the cheap part:

Bunch of damn pinko commie foreign car wanting girlie men! Buy a Dart or a Mustang, dammit!

 

i've always admired the factory five coupe ... not that cheap though...

 

Build a big block El Camino, paint it primer black with red devil horns on the hood and drive around town flipping everyone off while you do huge rolling burnouts.

 

Saw a AC Cobra rep this morning, man those are some proper cars.

:wow:

 

Yeah. I thought about building one and started doing the research on price and cost to build it right and the way I would want it built. Then added all that together with the amount of time to build if you were really serious about it and man hour cost and just bought one from Backdraft Racing.

I'd love to have an El Camino project car for something like that. Although maybe not the red devil horns on the hood.

You think you could build a Cobra rep for under $40K. Most of the built stuff I see is over $50K+.

 

Pussy.

 

And it takes forever to finish but the one i rode in with a 428 in it was scary as shit at 11

The Mk4 Complete kit gives you everything you need to build your car, in one big package of brand new parts. The only things you’ll need are the engine/transmission/rear end, wheels/tires, and a paint job. Seems like it could be done for under 40K

 

My buddy just got done completing one for a customer. He said that if you self performed all the work besides a paint job he thought 40K would be the magic number for a nice ride. The build they did was just shy of touching 6 figures but good god was it pretty.

 

I have a 66 gto that I'm been thinking of selling. runs, drives - could use some fresh paint. Parts are readily available. Pretty good cool factor. It's a non matching numbers car so you can do whatever without compromising the originality. Cheapish is relative. lemme know.

 

I bought a Corvette earlier this year and have loved it. They are easy to find in almost any price range. Easy to work on and fast/loud.
