Personally I've watched many people come and go, on the forum. I think some think that making the chassis is making a car. From my experience it took 3 years to get my car on the road. 6 months making a chassis and 30 months doing the rest. Some people make a chassis, then realise the rest is up to them and sell the project.
I'd even go so far as too say my build was a particular turd and wanted to give up on many occasions. Disasters include,
- Poor wishbone bushes from 3GE, leading to an entire set on wishbones made wrong!
- broken fibreglass parts from Triton i waited 45 days for!
- engine and gearbox wrong place... Needed new mounts making
- drawing off forum was wrong leading to suspension brackets welded in wrong place
- engine i got was rotten (turd piston rings, bust oil pump and leaking crank seals)
- fuel tank leaking
- inlet manifold made backwards!
- using an engine not used before in kitcar!
