I've had Roadsters both ways and while my car is hardly stock I wouldn't
call it a "kit car."
I think the Roadsters need some improvement in some ways and what I did was
to make it driveable for where I live and how I want my car to be.
Originality isn't all that it's cracked up to be unless you want your car in
a magazine or want to brag how original it is. Because of the conditions in
the northeast not many cars are truly original because of rust and time and
the roads.
