Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Are you entirely sure about that?

You have to remember that the vast majority of kit cars, especially older pre-sva kit cars are shit. They are ugly as sin, made badly, and bolted together by amateurs out of bits from the scrap yard

Yeah and?

Made some interesting finds.

There was a TT looking metro conversion that was SVA's and had shocking welding, or bird shit as its known.
