Its a pity these guys dont get on here as active as Craig and promote their wares and what they are working on
I went with CR, i'm very happy i did, i love the body shape and the original style chassis.
I bought the basic body and chassis unit only as that's all i could afford to commit.
I'm glad i did this now because as i've gone along, i've made individual choices on everything and would have been left with a tonne of parts (maybe 1/2 tonne, whole car probable around a tonne).
Bigger brakes, cooling system, fuel system, ecu choices, ancillary placements of parts, seats, dash, gauges, etc etc etc etc.
Craigs suggestion is a very honest one, if your serious about building, spend a tiny fraction of the cost on an airfare or 3 and visit the makers, CR, G-Force, FFR (CCA Perth) Harrisons etc etc. at the very least you will get a clear understanding of whats on offer and how they go together.
I would be happy to buy CR again, I would certainly be going to Craigs house for a chat, and after visiting Backdraft in the US, i would consider importing their RHD drive version with the Coyote version....impressive.
Do yourself a favour and get around before committing, you'll get a drive, reinforce your thoughts, you'll be the winner in the end.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your efforts

I was under the assumption that CR was leaving the scene due to the owners ill health.... and the reason I swayed away from Backdraft after some research was the import and compliance issues as they were a complete car and not a kit...

So it was for those reasons I had narrowed it down to the FFR or the AP, but always keen on others view, input and assistance!
