10k for rolling chassis and body isnt too bad really. Especially when you consider a real good condition mk1 is silly money now.

Its the sensible way to go if its the shape you like. Will handle better than any real mk1.

someone do a resin infused/pre-preg carbon body for one imagine how light it would be compared to typical wet lay heavy GRP.
