F1 car built in Brighton Shed!
Thought you guys might like this and perhaps you have already seen it.
Chap builds F1 Car out of bits in his shed (obviously original pieces too).
A keen F1 fan, Kevin first got the idea for building his own racer when he saw an F1 car in a Renault showroom. He then sought out an F1 tub, or shell, which incorporates the driver's survival cell and cockpit, on eBay. Unsurprisingly, the item received zero bids, so Kevin contacted the seller and made him an offer, which landed him bits from a Reynard BAR 01 and a BAR 003.

Impressive, I wonder which engine eventually makes it into that "Frakenstein."
May the forza be with you

He's probably got a load of live-in grid girls so probably doesn't need a wife. Hopefully he hasn't made those too!

Now all he has to do is find a half-decent driver (JV wouldn't look out of place in that) and he'd give HRT some competition.

You see this on the onboard, suddenly turns in more when he hits the dip, easy thing to do as you need to keep close to it to not jump off the road. ...
