I fancy building an Ultimer GTR. I don't know what the total costs would be but it des look awsome. What are your veiws on this kit? I am asking you because I believe you have experience of kit car building.

.. that would be kit car REbuilding

Edited to add, my calender has just reminded me that is a free for all open day at the factory tomorrow (Sunday 21st).

Might be worth your while if you can make it.

I know the chap who makes the Ultima Chassis, he's the best welder I know and his work is excelent I've heard mixed results about the finished item though.

Anyway, with the small time I spent with the kit car trade... work out a budget, add A LOT!!! Work out a time scale and add A LOT!!!

Best of luck

It's the sort of thing you only do for fun, don't do it to save money - your time is worth a lot! Bit like building a house really
