Locost Roadster Project Thread

Needed a filler to empty jerry cans in at trackdays so constructed this using Ikea parts

I'm just on with painting them at the moment, will post some updated photos when it's finished.

Oh, I also had a race with a C63 AMG the other night, on a roll from 20-120mph. There was nothing in it...the cars couldn't have been more perfectly matched.
