My Bookmarks
Below are a selection of the bookmarks that I have created in the research into this project. Some of them are specific to particular kitkar models (i.e., Caterham), whilst others are individual peoples build/ownership websites for their cars. The rest offer general advice on kitcars. All have offered me inspiration along the way for this project.
All links will open in a new window, and are in no particular order.

| A build of a Caterham 7. Was somewhat comforting for me, as the guys themselves seemed to be novices....just like me! | Building a Caterham Seven - PT 1 - Follow as We Build a Car - April 2005 Winding Road |
| The Caterham Website | Caterham Cars - Designed for racing, built for living |

| Rob Collingridge's Fisher Fury Kit Car. I don't know Rob personally, but he works at the same company as me. I was keeping an eye on this project website, and I was inspired by the level of detail and perfectionism that Rob seemed to be striving for. His project is far more complex that mine will be, but his site offers very good reading. | Fisher Fury R1 Kit Car Build |
