Hey all,

im new here as i am planing on buying a kit car and would be realy gratefull of some advice,

i am a car mechanic for subaru in Bristol and currently own a 350 bhp/370 lbft wrx sti impreza that is going to a new home next week so have decided to buy a kit car for a new toy,

my parents have always been into cars and own several classics including a genuine AC ace (Bristol engine) and a AC aceca (AC engine) along with a v8 morgan a frogeye sprite 2 lotus elan`s and several others, we are all car mad, lol,

what i would like to know is after some research my origional choice of a ac cobra kit has been forgotten as i have been told that im not going to enjoy the performance and handling compared to what i am used to with the subaru,
so have decided to go for a westfield type car with the cosworth turbo engine as a friend used to own one and i was very impressed with it,

at the moment i have been to see a Dax rush, factory built on a D reg for £13,000 but i am very confused what is a better car to go for, Dax, Westfield or one of the many others available,,,,,,,

what ones are easyest to obtain parts for etc,,,

any help would be gratefully recieved,

many thanks, Tom
