So kev how far on are you with yours what route have you taken?

Hi again Seb...I am taking the Sierra route re most of the running gear apart from the engine and g/box, my choice for those is the nissan 200sx s13 engine commonly known as the CA18DET mated to the same s13 g/box...I'm at the stage of a 50% chassis build and now on with wishbones of which I am trying to bright nickel plate certain bits (bush tubes actually)
Have picked up a lot of tips on here that have been invaluable and Andy down at SSC will bend over backwards to help anyone has helped me out a few times now....just about any question will be answered if posted on here....especially Handandy ( he deems it as a challenge every time ) Actually been away from my build lately but you will see it soon creep back into the announcements section as I do not have a build blog site yet (must get around to doing that)....any way get planning dude, another NE roadster
soon to be born

Sounds good keV, I'm no stranger to a challenge just fitted a p38 4.6 v8 to my defender on mega squirt.
I'd love to see a build in the early stages. If you need anything fabing up let me know. I'm thinking of doing my chasis in stainless with a polished hoop or maybe an Ali chassis

Here is my baby just finished after 3 years graft running a brand new 4.6 v8 out of range rover p38 on mega squirt. Rolling roaded at with 225 bhp and 276 ftlb at wheels. Was tempted to use a v8 in my roadster as I've cut my teeth on them but would have to be a lower spec one as I fear to much power could twist the frame.

Welcome to the forum Sebby

If you upgrade the chassis tubes to 2mm wall thickness, the chassis will be more than capable of handling the power of a V8

I believe the standard chassis has been designed to handle that sort of power anyways

Welcome to the forum, Sebby! The facebook link does not work. Is the photo public?

[Sebby]

This link is public. Does anybody know what the standard chassis is designed to handle
