I NEED info BADLY on this please, any help would be appriciated

OK I am 16 years old, and am now looking for a hot car, on a tight buget; like most teenagers.

Anyways my idea comes from passed on information I have "heard" and do not yet know if it's true. Any information will be greatly appreciated and helpful, whether its private to my email or on the forums.

Ok so I "heard" that to make it seem as if you have a hot car... Some teenagers or peopel ahve taken a Pontiac Fiero, (I'm not sure which year) and as some of you may know, and from what I have heard...That type of car has a body which can be removed nicely, in order to make room for something special.

Yes I'm talking about a fiberglass body of a 94 or 95 or whatever year fits, Dodge viper, I know it's not just snap into place work, and that it requires some if not many new parts to accquire the transformation.

However I am up for the challenge, however I need information anyone has as to where to start, prices, and any tips or instructions or advice you may have.

I know it'll still be the fiero car and the dodge body, but I'm a kind of teen which most are, which rely on the look of the car...with decent performance, I know that fieros are not the most trustworthy cars in thw world, howvere are cheap to fix, if it were to break down.

But I was wondering if anyone had info on this or a site, or possibly price ranges for a fiberglass body etc.... (I do have a friend who makes fiberglass bodies I will talk to him, well actually his dad but u get the idea)


ANY TYPE OF INFORMATION will help GREATLY.

Thanx very much for reading and helping, and sorry for any errors in typing...

if it means anything I live in Victoria, B.C., Canada.

thanx again!
-Chris

What you are talking about is called a KIT CAR.

Yep u can have a dodge body, lamborghini body, ferrari (although they have sued most of the KIT CAR manufactorers of the ferrari KIT CAR) and a few others.

Its ALOT OF WORK, u'd be looking minimum of $35,000-$36,000 for a KIT CAR, that includes almost everything.

A good place to start is:
http://www.lambobuilder.com/

It has everything from the finances he has gone through through personal experience of it. Quite informative. Got me started.
But yeah as u can read I'm from Australia so looking for a right hand drive lambo KIT CAR manufactorer, I want a Roadstar not Countach.
