i am from australia and have some questions

where can i find a car that has the same chassis as a fiero?
i live in australia and there are no fieros here, i would like to make a diablo but every diablo kit i have seen needs a fiero chassis, are there any other cars that have the same chassis?

im looking for a car kit that would fit the chassis of a toyota corolla.
i have a corolla laying around here but the body is full of rust, i was hoping there might be a kit out there that i could put onto it.

where can i find a dash kit for a 1990 honda civic hatch?
i have a kit that fits a civic hatch but in australia the steering wheel is on the right side of the car and would like to find a right side dash kit for it.

are there any kits for ford falcons?
in australia ford falcons are everywhere and are a dime a dozen, does any1 know of any1 selling kits that fit onto ford falcons?

A few hard questions…I cannot work out what it is you want to achieve. Do you just want any kit car?

Right to your questions.

1) well a fiero is a fiero…very few affordable cars have a mid-engine set-up…a fiero in America is around US$500.00 for a useable donor car consider importing one!!! If not you could try a MR2 mk1 mk2 mk3 but it will require significant rebuild…you will be better of to adapt a space frame or box frame chassis to accept you donor parts.

2) As far as I know there are no kit cars for a corolla but I could imagine (again with modification) that you could go for a lotus seven style replica…you do sell those in Australia. Have a look in a used car mag called ‘unique cars’ (I think!!!).

3) Honda civic dash…unsure but you might be able to fit a del sol dash some have been made in the past to look like F355 dash (not very convincing). Have a look at the modifying scene…SEMA or similar should be able to help you.

4) Again as far as I know no kits for a ford falcon (assume you mean the Australian one here)…they are ok cars but WHY? You could use part on a space frame chassis but would require reworking again.

Now if I’m reading the writing between the lines you are trying to find a kitcar for a car you already own…that is a no no.
To have a good kit car you find a kit you like that is in your financial bracket (I always talk about money in these replies!!) and you build it using the recommended donor...manufactures have usually spent sometime working on their kits and know what they are talking about.

Anyhoo good luck
