My advice would be to talk to Tony at www.Pumaspeed.co.uk as he has a car like this already built. Also the Racing Puma parts (ie Shell etc.) are expensive, I don't know, but you might be better with a standard Puma shell with a wide arch kit on.
I hope this is of some use?

Kind Regards,

Tony.

Hi I'm From Guernsey in the Channel islands...A guy over here has a Puma Cosworth running an RS200 motor in it, He Design's Formula 1 gearbox's, so he's fairly rich, It took him 5 years to design and build, I'll try and get sum pics when the sprint season starts, he was doing 9.5 sec quarters in it, it erm is very fast! he only did 3 runs on 3 quater boost cos he was scared of it lol! Full Carbon Fibre everything ....oh and it's road legal!
