K-1 was pimping that kit about 3 years ago telling folks it was "just about done" I think they released it about a year ago. They seem to have a good rep as far as kit car manafactuar's go but that's a large chunk of change to convert a FWD to MWD and spruce up the exterior.

As far as donor's are concerned in the 70's the popular chassis to use was the VW beetle, in the 80's a lot of fiero rebodies (with some frame lengthening) popped up. In the 90's the majority of the kit cars seemed to be on fieros with beetle's in a close second. The donor's of yesterday are fading away in rusty heaps in junkyards.

Kit car companies are having their hands forced to find new donors like SUV's and Cop cars just to name a few.

I personally would love to see a nice 240sx rebody done but that's just me. In ten years there's no telling which donor car (if any) will be the hot ticket item.
