I am in the same boat as you - I am looking into starting to make a cob in the next 12-18 months and have chatted to a few guys around the Gold Coast.
I have also looked at another builder called De-type, and they can supply a rolling kit for about $10000. Is this rather cheap? I believe the DRB is about $12000-13000.
As 750 said, depends on what you want, and I know I am not a classic car lover - I just want an inexpensive sports car, that I built myself - the build part I know I will love - the driving I know I will love too...... and how much fun can you have in a 1200kg 200kw V8 convertible?
Cheers,
Brett
