For those with a lot of free time, good tools and a place in the garage, it is now possible to assemble cars from a do-it-yourself kit. Details in the set are branded, manufactured at the factory. This miracle is called “kit-car”. Very often, the set is based on a famous and expensive car, inaccessible to most. Sports and retro models are assembled by craftsmen in their workshops and even participate with them at exotic auto exhibitions.
It is necessary
- - kit-car set;
- - garage;
- - instruments.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose the model you like from the presented kit cars. Retro or historical cars are also called "replicar", they have a modern filling - the engine, chassis, transmission, instruments and the rest. There are two recruitment options - for wealthy people and for clients who want to save money. For the former, the manufacturer makes a "screwdriver" assembly of a set of large units and assemblies. In this case, the savings will be from 30 to 50% of the price of a real car. After all, a set of auto parts is still not a finished car.
Step 2
But for a simple lover of good cars, it is still very expensive. If you want to significantly reduce your costs, get only a luxury car body. Then put it on the chassis of your used car. You will have to "conjure" on the assembly much longer to fit the body to the rest of the car, but as a result, you will get your dream car for a small amount of money.
Step 3
You can, of course, completely tune your old car from the antenna to the exhaust pipe. But high-quality finishing can be very expensive - 20-30 thousand dollars. Lotus designer K. Chapman has written a book on how to build a £ 250 sports car. In it, he described a simple concept - assembling a frame and installing spare parts from a car on it. This is approximately what you need to do by purchasing a kit car kit.
Step 4
Find foreign sites with models for sale, their price is about 3-5 thousand dollars. There are three options for assembling a whale car. In the first, you buy a kit abroad and ship it to Russia. After 100% prepayment, the kit car will arrive to you from America for $ 900 by sea to the Finnish port of Kotka or Novorossiysk. From there it can be delivered by truck or train to a place convenient for you. If you choose delivery to Moscow, it will cost you another $ 900.
Step 5
Better to take a kit car of the European assembly. It will arrive much faster by truck, but it will cost even more - about € 1500! At customs, you will have to pay another 15% of the state duty and 18% of VAT on the cost of the set specified in the accompanying documents.
Step 6
If you chose the second option for assembling the car, buy a kit car in Russia. You will pay about $ 3000 extra on top of the original price. In the third option, you download diagrams and assembly drawings and make a car from parts from a landfill.
