£3k for the rolling chassis..... but £4k + vat for a new gearbox!!! Still - you know you want it Mr Whippy. All the races are down South (even from
me!) it seems so bit of a hike to go race it!!Ouch!!!

you should have seen the bother I had trying to get a set of headlights for xmas! why is it always clothes?! Blokes don’t want clothes we want tools
and bits for the cars and manly stuff not a jumper!
Even then I had to buy my motorbike jacket myself. Cos she hates the bike and won’t get anything to do with it.

yeah, not much different than a 7, they even have handbrakes, might take a glassfiber pod to cover the engine for the test, find it later in a dust
bin in a layby afterwards

I hate to say it, but that is a car that is just crying for a bike engine-big one.
Well that or a cozzy.
I dont think the wife would go for a single seater though.

Couldn't you make a substitute box from a Type 9 and a diff with no prop, just a joint with a flange on the back and a splined front? I know it
would be a bit longer, but it would be cheaper than £4k

A Renault or Audi transaxle would be the best choice, I think a type 9 plus a diff wuld be to long to fit.
