Some 20 odd years ago when I was struggling to buy cars that were fast enough, the thought of a kit car started, but as usual things got carried away and the basic Caterham 7 style for five grand turned quickly into a twenty grand Cobra monster, so the idea was shelved for later years.
Well those later years have arrived and with the opportunity to retire early (some would say not early enough) it was decided to sell the Prodirve Impreza and use the proceeds to get a utility vehicle and the first parts of the kit. The utility vehicle turned out to be a Mitsubishi L200 and the kit turned out to be a part built Dax Tojeiro.
See Dax's Home page for details of the Tojeiro.The part built car has the Dax ladder chassis, the body and most of the mechanical parts including a Chevy 350 engine Tremec gearbox, twin clutch and Powerloc diff. Running gear is from a Jaguar XJS.
It still needs all the plumbing for brakes fuel and water, electrics, interior, doors bonnet and boot, hood and painting. (Pleas note use of UK names for bonnet, hood and boot). But first it needs cleaning.
