Why not a bodyshell of a old “East German” Trabant. They are from fibreglass and easy to modify.
Actually they are made of duroplast. It's simmilar to formica and bakelite. But it's interesting to use a Trabant bodyshell. They are
utterly inexpensive.

The Minotaur has definitely some pagani lines in it. If you have a look at the other pictures on their website you will see it.
Their description:
DOT front windshield
Is there anyone who can help me on this?

Heh heh!!
looks like the one that Ultima use! If it is then don't know where they get them from.
My mate runs ultima and they will NOT sell screens to non-customers.
The screen itself is a Porsche 962 item, but they are made to order for Ultima now, nobody holds stock as far as I know.
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

Well I know that the Ultima screen is the same as the stealths and that can come with a heated screen for the same money......

I was thinking on a Smart Roadster front screen an side screens from an Opel Tigra convertible.
I will buy an Audi gearbox (6 speed) with a very low ratio (1:3) from a race company

The fun of such a project is that you can get a donor for a few 100 pounds.

Sounds cool!
I just did a wee flea bay search but dragged up 1 750 but it was £2,000 + not hit reserve
Any good salvage yards I should be looking at
Cheers

looks like you may need to modify the chassis a bit
the exhaust looks as though it will foul on the support tube right next to it. or perhaps thats just a bad angle for the picture.

Hi andygtt!
Just went to your home page and wow I must say.
5.0 v12 twin turbo that is quite a mind boggling thought have you figured out roughly how many HP it will be when fully tuned?
Also as you have had an Ultima would you say that the BMW engine would fit in its own cradle?
Cheers
James

Just so you know I lost my password to my andygtt user id a while ago and had to create a new ID not using AOL.

The picture is deceptive, the thing that is making the exhaust tight is actually the diagonal. The main chassis rails leave loads of room.
I thought of making the diagonal removable so that the manifold will be easier to fit, however I decided that would compramise the chassis too
much.
I got a running 750 for £500... however I also got an another 2 engines off ebay one for £150 and another one for £10!
Just keep your eyes open for those bargains.
I didn't understand the cradle question, they have been fitted to Ultimas if that's what you mean?

I've been in contact with Jens Larsson. He is building his 750 biturbo engine.
He has a topic in a swedish forum but he will probably make an english transation of his notes.
He gave me also a link to a website from another person: http://bmwe32.masscom.net/
Have fun,
Geoff

What about the lola T70? A car designed to take chavy V8, so BMW V12 must be possible too.

I think you will find the old BMW V12's are 84mm I know the M70 is and I think the M73 and S70 get extra capacity with stroke rather than bore
but will need to check.

block alone weighs 34kgs, crank 25 all in with my turbos and manifolds etc it weighed 184kgs so I expect about 220kgs when the dry sump alternator etc
is fitted.
