I built my FFR in 1998 using the current manual they had at the time, no forum to help (as I found it right about when I finished my car) and only an 8 year old girl (my Daughter) who was willing to get up early enough on Saturday mornings to help.
Now I am a mechanic by trade so even if FFR had no manual, the build would have been easy for me......and I deviated from the stock kit in a few areas.
......but let me tell you,,,,, I had my 8 year old (at the time) go through each step as we did it on the car, by having her look at the manual.
She would fetch the tools needed and the proper parts..... and we would put them on the car together.
When the car was done and people asked about the build manual,,, I didn't want to show it to them because I was embarrassed at how incredibly EASY the car was to put together!
What I'm getting at is that if my kid can figure it out, I bet any left handed housewife -armed with an elec drill,,, and some hand tools can do it!
For those of you that are intimidated by the build manual,,,,,,,,simply pick up your phone and call the local builder and ask for a "turnkey".
Oh, I have seen the "build manuals" for other kit cars in the last couple of years, such as the ones for Manta Mirages, Montages, and a coupl eof Lambo kit manuals. If some of you saw those, you'd FREAK. They are basically typed out notes that say things like:
#1 install suspension
#2install body
#3 align panels
#4 install wiring
etc,etc, one of the lambos I looked at had a "build video",, I watched it with my neighbor and we laughed our a$$es off during the whole thing. This guy couldn't even hold the camera still while he was showing stuff, and almost dropped it a few times!

What a joke that was. My neighbor spent like 30-40 bucks on this video,,,,and all it did was convince us that the car was a joke!
