I have build my own sportscar, I had no experience in carbuilding. But I bought the book "Build Your own sports car for as little as Ģ250" by Ron Champion and itīs seem to be quite simple. Well, 2 years and 2 days and I'm finaly done!


Here it is, my scarry shark ;o)

 

Ok, I live in Sweden so I started  with easy to find parts, yes volvo. Volvo is a car with "heavy" parts but they are reliable. Well, in the end I don't think the car will have so many volvo parts anyway.

Click for big image! I started on the space-frame chassis the summer1999. I have not much welding experence but the chassis was easy to make, it took 10 days and the inspiration was on top.
click! The Chassi fully weld with brackets.
