My old man wants to build himself one of these types of motors so I said I'll ask and see what people thought of them etc??

I've had a look around online and see the kits etc but not really what they are like to live with etc...

Will be just a summer toy for him as he uses his Disco for everything else


Cheers

How old is he these cars are very basic. About 5years ago (i was 57) when to the Dax factory & looked at buying a Cossie powered Dax Rush, no way, my days of having a car at this basic level are way gone far too much of a compromise.
Recently took a near new Westfield out on a test run it was noisy, rattly (only done 1700miles) & shook me to death. It went well but above 100 it was like sitting in the middle of a Tornado , hated it.
Defo a young mans type of car, yes I did own them many years ago in my 20's but not now.
