Indy dimentions?
Has anyone got the length & width dimentions of a built indy? I have 14' x 9' max space in my garage  which i think is going to be tight?
Cheers

I've just measured mine. They should be reasonable as the car had cooled down after a quick blast.
3260mm nose to tail
1680mm across the rear arches
1650mm across the cycle wings
1050mm o'ert roll bar
If you have trouble fitting it in try DrWho@tardistechnologies
I ended up needing to get some hyperspace racking from Machine Mart to store the donor parts. Useful to be able to curl up in those extra
dimensions.
Hope this helps.

Hi Colin
Thanks for the dimensions. Me being an old bugger i'm going to have to convert into feet and inches!!
(later that morning...) Right i have converted 3260mm to come out at 10ft 8inches which is about 8 inches longer than a mini. That can't be right ?
Sounds too short to me.
Can anyone else confirm?
As your car had just been out for a blast would it be longer and wider due to being hot with all that lovely vibration??
Cheers
Andy

Garage Size -
Donut, I wondered about this aswell, as I've only got a single garage to work in which is similar in dimensions to yours. I can get a Merc C220 in
mine although it's a squeeze, so I am pretty sure you'll fit a completed MK in. Having said that, you won't have a lot of room to wander around
it...

Hi Squirrel
I bought myself a 10 meter measuring tape today to draw some lines on the garage floor and all looks fine. The measurements i put up before were
taking into account shelving and a work bench. The actual size if my garage is 18' x 11'. I should have plenty of room to work on the car so mee iz
a happy bunny!

Thats plenty room,i've got 22x11ft and i'm swimming in space now bits are starting to get fixed to car.
Have a word with steveM about space in the garage,he buit his own chassis in the smallest garage i've ever seen.
If i can get a scanner for pic i have i'll post it on archive if ok with steve,you will never complain about space again if seen
By the way,without looking i think my chassis was 10ft6" ish.Went staight in the back of normal transit.

Hi Bob
That's great.
A friend has a special trailer for transporting mini's and he has offered to pick the chassis up with me. He also has a Land Rover Discovery to get
the rest of the bit's in. I have purchased all the fibre glass and a donor kit too so it may get a little cramped. I'm hoping to put some of the
fibre glass on the trailer with the chassis.
All i need now is that phone call from Martin
