Fabrication and labour must be cheap in Hungary...

He says ' The ready car will have leather upholstery,aircondition and 345 tyres.I already have all parts for it.The chassis is totally re- newed and the plastic carbody is under reconstruction.The total work last almost two years and needs nearly 5 million forints.Inclusive the base of the Alpine.'

5000000 forints........£13,700 :lol:

That's just weird.

A lot of the chassis rigidity must go out the window (literally) when you think of the GTAs construction and all the bonded bodywork, inbuilt rollcages etc. Even the bonded windscreen stiffens the structure considerably, and that's all lost.
I'm just here for the gasoline.

If he builds a simple cage from the front turrets to the rear turrets it should be sufficient..

This is what the Europa Cup cars had, a normal inside cage, which then went through the bulkhead and bolted to the top of the front suspension and linked through into the rear. Almost like a whole new skeleton chassis which took the load of the bodyshell... :)
