Lotus 7 Budget Sports Car

[@creepingjesus5106]

The 'Locost' is a brilliant idea, but to top it off with that engine? Superb!

[@charlesdalton985]

Brilliant execution, and to do it himself with the help of friends makes it even more impressive.

[@rdhudon7469]

Most of us get a light bulb over our head when we get an idea . Dennis gets an air balloon ....show off ! ...Beautiful work , very impressive.

[@ruypavancardim7512]

One more Locost! And a very special one! Kudos, Peter, you're a Hero!

[@lateefcarrere1649]

A nice example of "if you can't buy it, build it".

I love this show and it helps me get a bit more motivation for my own project I'm building a 1970 gmc c15 I brought it when I was 15 I'm now 18. I am the third owner I brought it off of the first owner grandson and the truck had been sitting for 20 years And I got it running this summer now ineed to finish up some rust repair. The cool thing is I have all of the original paper work

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Awesome.I hope we see you at 1 of the shows someday.Just keep plugging along and you'll be there.

[@AaBb-zj2ld]

very cool. i love a hand formed budget build.

There is a guy near Cedar Rapids, IA that builds "lowcost" 7s that are mostly set up for SCCA Solo. Have loved his car ever since I first saw one. I think the first one was set up with a 2 rotor and is now running a 1.4l Ecotec, which just finish 1st and 3rd in its class at Nationals.

[@codymay5301]

Wow I am amazed by this that's awesome I've been thinking about building a replica Lotus 25 or 49 for a while now and this is definitely helped give me the inspiration to try to go ahead and complete it

[@bryduhbikeguy]

That is some Very good work from all that helped.

Nice video Amigo 🤩👍

The old. Adage applies. The best rides are homebuilt.

[@machiningbasics1729]

Beautiful build very common here in the uk

[@z06doc86]

[@MyClassicCarTV]

I wish!

[@notme4921]

I know how Peter feels ,i didn't build mine the previous owner did ,i just modified it & drive the wheels off of it ,my son did a short video ,( lotus 7 joyrides sydney ).

[@imranabbasi7871]

It look like a go kart 👍🧡💕💞

[@robertwillis4061]

They are. Handle really well even on British roads. Not that high a top speed. But once at the right speed, you don't slow down on corners. A 200hp is way fast enough. 0 - 60 4 - 6 seconds

[@imranabbasi7871]

Thank you

0:34 to 0:42 " . . had a vin from a wrecked one. " What this guy did is 100 % Illegal. You can't take a vin from a car and place it on another one. ( or at least not admit to it. )
