oh, sorry, it was a typo. i was about to ask for extra Chilli sauce!
I know that this sort of topic was mentioned when the Spyder first broke cover as a lot of the modern kit-car "scene" were talking about Gary electing to use such an 'old' Donor and there was a lot of gossiping about what alternative routes you could take, i.e. the use of a lo-cost type chassis
Seeing as us Sammio types all seem to be a bit "give it a go and see what happens", i can see this route you are mentioning being quite a viable alternative.
