There are drawings in the "orange" book but the are incorrect. The best is re-draw the whole thing.

I'm building my own, but as the time grows the more it becomes a new locost.

smaller front, Wider at driverseat, longer, different rear, wider track.

The big mistake i've found:
90 degr. at bottom at front must be at top, or you will have zero degr castor.

you will be missing some measurements. But if you re-draw you get your own measurements. Critical is bumpsteer, At the rear i've replaced the inner brackets lower to respect the static "roll-centre"-principal.

I'm not using tiger grp. Make my own bodywork of alu like locost. The bonnet and nose of a donkervoort.

There are a lot of pictures around here. So with the book and this forum it must be possible.
