Nice project, was very clise to buying a spaceframe anglia with this running gear in it about two years ago.

Any reason you used standard rivets on the floor rather than the big head ones that spread the load more? Encased prop tunnel is interesting though.

There isn't really much weight on the floor anyway

A might fit bigger rivets later if a feel it needs it





Target : 540 BHP per ton :-)

I would change them now,the floor has to take the weight of you or your passengers standing on it whilst getting in/out of car.

Looking at pics your having this built at SKC?

You really could do with a load more rivets. The smaller head ones are fine but need lots more or Mr IVA man won't be happy. I'm sure it comes under general construction standards somewhere. Most people have rivets pitched around every 50mm/2".

The bigger head rivets are best for riveting bodywork/fibreglass.

Where do your master cylinders/brake pipes come out through bulkhead?

If that T piece is for a brake light pressure switch they are better mounted so the switch points towards the ground,as people have had issues bleeding up the brakes with the switch mounted facing upwards.

Fitting side panels

Temp fit before proper fit



















Had to cut the panels
The frame is 6 inches bigger than ur normal frame because of the size of the engine

What are your plans for the side panels?

Did SKCC recommend the Gaz coil overs?
Just wondered as I know the chassis is built by MK and they don't recommend Gaz,they use Protec now.

Did they not use gaz before they changed to protec

Yeah they did use them before.
Drop Danny a message on here and ask why they are better,didn't go into details just said they no longer use Gaz due to Protech being better for around the same cost.
