Many years ago, a chap called Ron Champion wrote a book called "How to build a sportscar for £250". This book became the basis of the Locost scene from which many Lotus 7-esque sportscars have been built. One of the challenges now is that the book was based on old Escort and Cortina bits to build it which, let's be honest, are like hen's teeth now...
To bring things up to date, Chris Gibbs has written a new book called "Build your own Sports Car" which alows you to build a Lotus-7-esque car from a Ford Sierra, a pile of steel tube and some metal tube... doesn't this sound like fun!
This is the book here - available for under £20 and a great read.
