Good luck, Paul.
Thanks a lot for the info Paul! Yeah I'd imagine price will be a dominant factor; however, I don't seem to find any manufacturers making use of carbon fibre chassis or tub, despite a few posts regarding Axon Automotive working with Westfield a couple of years ago and a project carried out at Cranfield uni. But thanks for the information.
I've talked to a few owners as well, and indeed the strength of the joints will be a key concern; so I'll definitely conduct further research on that.

Cheers,
