Awesome, I want to build on after reading that C&D article, F20c is the perfect motor for this too.

I started getting interested after reading Keith Tanner's website a few months back, and had planned on build the same car as Keith, but I happened on a good deal for the salvage s2000 and decided it would be a much better powerplant.


I received a few questions via e-mail. The chassis was bought from Coveland Motorsports and was about $3k not including shipping. I estimate that the total cost of the project will be around $8k for me, not including the cost of the donor car. I was able to find a great donor car that will allow me to recoup a good chunk of the cost, so I estimate that the project will cost me $10k total by the end.

I am just beginning this project, and will work on keeping the progress updated on my website, along with a parts list.

If you are considering a similar build, I highly suggest picking up a copy of Keith's book:

It won't look like the WCM ultralite, and will look more similar to this car:

I live ~10 miles west of atlanta off the South Cobb drive exit of 285.
