Just one question.

I'll get right to the point. How long would it take me to build a Sonic 7 if I spent 12 hours a day or more working on it?

I will get right to the point its impossible to say you could be a great mechanic or complete donkey??

I think it claimed somewhere that about 100-150 hours to build
A sonic or rocket. You would need everything necessary to
Complete the build ready to go and hope you don't have
Any problems. It would probably be a no frills basic build.

I think the average hours spent is around 500-700 hours over several months.

I built my rocket over 14 months covering just under 500 hours.

As already commented, it depends on your experience.
And if you really want to rush thru the build, after all
The build is the good part.

Depends on if everyone delivers everything you want on time and you dont change your mind on how you do things and will that rad fit what size spacers for those wheels you bought because there just right and...............as you can see....who knows!!!

Haha yeah I've never built a car before, but I don't consider myself to be a "complete donkey."

Thanks everyone for the info.

im about 60 hours and not even at powdercoat, not including research, sourcing parts, ebaying the old focus bits.
when not working, im thinking about it. it takes over your life, im sure neds build hours are only working hours not the rest hes done.

I'm about to build a Rocket, in theory all the parts I need are going to be included in my kit, seemed easier due to location.

I have opted to sort out my own powder coating so am going to have to build strip and build. Also sorting my own seats but that's not a biggy.

I also have never built a car before, never really spent a lot of time under them either so I also am a novice.

How long to build? as the trend says who knows.

However one thing that I am absolutely 100% sure is that it will take literally forever if you don't take the plunge and go for it.

Does it matter how long it takes as long as you enjoy it?

Go on get your wallet out and book a build slot then you will find out.

I have been working on my Sonic 7 for 17 months now but had delays due sourcing parts and the electrics have taken over a month now. Hope to start it this weekend. The rest is just about all done. Should be able to start with registration next week so should be running and on the road by the end of October. I had to make plenty changes though because I've fitted a Honda engine and gearbox. I think this also contributed to the extra time.
