A thread resurrection worthy of Lazarus
Hi thought I would update this thread, still not a lot of progress made I'm afraid.
Had a lot of building work done, including making my garage twice the size
So
 
Chasis comes home
Got the chassis home from my sisters garage into my new carpeted garage
 
Build tables
Made some build tables
 
Chassis on build tables
and put it on
 
Floor pans drilled
Drilled floor pans ready for fitting
Will turn it over and drill the transmission tunnel panels before I fit them though
It's so good to finally be able to start putting it together

At least it's your own thread to resurrect.
Good work hope to see it running soon. Going to be easier and more rewarding with a proper space to do it in

Keep us posted on your progress.
I've just picked up locobladeracer's Alfa 12v powered Haynes roadster to complete and a engine assy for £250
(how long until someone says you could build a car for that?)
Have a look in my photo archive under MD7.
Regards Dan.
The less I worked, the more i liked it.

alfa v6
i have an alfa v6 12v in my haynes ,been using it for 3 years,having tried a 3.6 and a3.3 i ended up with a 3.1 diff and lsd,rebuilt engine with cams
makes 1st gear an ornament,using gartrac 3 series box,have used standard injection system and has been very reliable,using a competition spinner only
,this works well with hyd clutch and no grab,you may not need to tune as wheelspin is quite a problem,santapod 3rd gear starts 13.7 100mph,2nd gear
with better tyres would be bit quicker,now on toyos t1r,much better.doing autosolos just about last 8 events,the wiring for standard engine is very
easy compared to most nowadays,the larger intakes of a24 valve and throttle body i am told fits,i am running two separate 3in to1 pipes with r1
cans,not quite the sound i wanted but not to noisey and slightly unusual,would prefer a sngle exhaust like one of my previous cars,may change
later,anybody want any info utu me or call 07957617548

Hi Phil
Would love to see some pics of your car sounds great.
I discounted BMW gearboxes because 1st always seems too short.
Will no doubt have little use for 1st gear too, but hey ho.
Am going to put a ballance pipe in the exhaust to try and stop it sounding like 2 triples!
