Well, it is pretty easy. I have one car that I assembled myself with the help of a mechanic.

You can buy cars in pieces from several UK companies. And I have to say it was easier than I thought it was going to be.

In fact, it was probably too easy. I am engineer and used to do things myself. Making my own OS with gentoo when you had to compile everything yourself was way harder and longer than assembling the car.




Thats impressive. Complete car with ASP/traction control/ABS and emmisions complaint stuff? did you calibrated the airbags?


I suspect it was something like a Caterham:

I believe in this analogy you are Argentina and your mechanic is Japan/Europe.
