Building a Seven

A few years ago I got it in my head to build a kit car. After a few months of searching what was out there, I came across the Locost concept. In short, quite a few amateur hobbiests around the world have built their own Lotus 7 inspired cars from scratch, following plans available on a variety of Internet sites and published in a book by Ron Champion.

Sounded like a fun project, and with minimal inital investment needed I started gathering parts and finally began building the chassis in July '05. Here's a website showing the progress of the build:
