Building a whole car in two semesters is an awfully ambitious project. Unless it's a group project I'd wager you won't finish. Consider reducing the scope. Perhaps just the frame.
5 years ! i'm studying part-time so I have quite some time to get this done.
I will be buying a shell from jk cars in the UK sorry I wasn't clear.
The frame/chassis is what I plan to build. I would like to buy a whole kit as they are about 21k GBP without engine/paint buuut the three available to me vary wildly.
One option just looks cheap , the second uses a box section chassis that covers the entire floor right out to the doors with a more traditional dash/upper body support like the original 289 chassis but very little side-impact or foot protection.
Option three has a very nice lotus style back-bone chassis but the body is structural and I would be relying on fibreglass to protect me from side impacts which i'm not to keen on.
I quite like the the FFR chassis.
My plan is to design/build something very similar to the FF chassis.
