Re: Hello Everyone and please help

Hey Jordan

I think you have had both sides of the argument above.

But at the same time all have given great informaion.
Start reading the forum, books, articles, kit car magazines, engineering books and anything pratical.

BUT whatever you do NEVER GIVE UP ON THE DREAM.

Yes it was a crazy decision but I bought mune on credit and the payments are heavy but without doing this I doubt I would ever have saved enough for an outright purchase - what with house and family, daughter & wife competing at World level in dancing etc. there is always a hole needing 50p when you only have 25p in your pocket.

Line the ducks up and wait and watch and when the right deal comes up put your money down and pick up the start of the dream. I am not sure about the USA market but these cars in the UK do not depreciate like normal cars and unless you are extremely unlucky on your purchase / situation you should get back some money if you need to sell the project for whatever reason.

Good lck with your quest - I wish I had taken the plunge years ago!

Ian
