About this product

Product Information

This is a step-by-step guide to building a roadworthy two-seater open sports car for a fraction of the cost of a kit car. Using standard tools, basic skills and low-cost materials, it shows how to make the chassis, suspension and bodywork, and advises how to modify and use cheap but serviceable mechanical components. The book includes scaled working drawings, detailed illustrations and photographs. Instructions on building a strong space-frame chassis and suspension are provided along with how to source the power unit, transmission, steering, brakes, lights and other parts. The making and fitting of body panels, mudguards, seating and trim, instrument panel, windscreen and fuel tank are covered and information is provided on legal requirements and vehicle registrations procedures. The guide also directs readers to relevant Haynes service and repair manuals for the overhauling of major items.

  • Great for the Novice Builder !

    This book has become iconic among "Locost" car builders. Often refered to as just; "The Book". While much of the very detailed info. contained is helpful to a novice builder, to anyone with experience with racing machines or sports cars it may loose some appeal. The "Book" will allow nearly anyone with basic welding and fabrication skills to build a workable sports car. That in itself is what has made the popularity of this book so enduring. While I did find the book well laid out and entertaining it is not for everyone.

  • Build your own sports car

    Although an old book it had lots of ideas that are relevant for today's builder.
