Lightbulb Donerless

And thats not someone without a kebab

I have managed to just gather all I need without a donor. Here is the breakdown to date of build 1.

Vaxhaul electric power steering col.
RX7 front uprights with 300mm discs and ali 4pots.
cossie rear hubs with new calipers and vented discs.
Cossie 108mm drive shafts. <to be shortened>
BMW diff lsd with 108mm flanges.
Ford v8 stroker lump. 5.7ltr
Getrag 265 gearbox.
Chassis comeing from talon
Body F@@k knows
Bits to get.

Premier loom
Dash and guages
Tank

All the second hand bits will get shoved in the truck and taken off to be blasted , i dont think I have it in me to start wire brushing all the crud off this lot.

The rest is here somewhere buried

That is a nice mix of parts you have there Bob.

I am really looking forward to seeing your build as it progresses.

one thing for sure, it certainly has the making of " One kick ass Roadster "

I think I'm going to go down the route of collecting parts rather than buying a doner.
Is there a reason that 'Q' plates are shunned in favour of an age related??

I think its just the stigma of a 'Q' is all,

The only thing i can see is you cant have a private plate? no real prob

Robbo, have you designed the front wishbones to suit the uprights yet? What made you choose those particular uprights ?

Cheers Dan
