Some of you may have seen this book, would it really be possible to make one of those for around £250 do you think?

I think Ill get that book when Im back on ebay and just have a read through - See what it says.

If it says "get a donor vehicle" then you can get cheap donor vehicles easilly I think.

I have that book.

GREAT stuff!, you can actuly build one for £250, but you wont get a very good car.

When the book was written it was possible with careful buying and a bit of skill.

You can pick up very cheap Sierras with decent oily bits but totally shot bodies. You would have to mod the plans in the book to use Sierra bits but it is doable loads of kit cars use Sierras bits.

Seems like a rather intresting thing to do and something to be proud of once completed

firebomb them

Clearly if its from "over here"  

as apparently you live round the corner I can save you some time and lend you a copy of it.

The short version of that book is you can pick up an old ford (newer version uses a sierra as the old car is rare as hell these days) and almost build one for around £400 add another couple of hundred if you want it to be road legal in the UK as it now has pass through something called the Single Vehicle Approval (SVA) test which came in to force a couple of years back.

If you actually want a decent lotus 7 style car on a minimal budget I can highly recommend Robin Hoods based on the 2B series:

Youre looking around £3.5k by the time youve got the kit and sierra.  But its a damn fast car for the money and great fun.
