In the 70s & early 80s there were a bunch of kit cars based on the Type 1 chassis .. . my dad built a Bradley GT II in 1980. it was an incredible car - weber carb, racing cams, bilstein shocks, lots of gauges.... etc.
I think in the late 80s there were some kit cars based on the Fiero, but flipping through the kit car magazines these days makes it look like kit cars are on the serious decline.
I wonder if it has to do with increased safety standards? people with less time these days?
I think it would be great if there was a kit out there based on the MkIV / 1.8t or Vr6 .... solid chassis, great engines, lots of aftermarket support (as there was for the Type 1).
thoughts?
