Well, I'm sorry to say its time to sell the project.
My expanding family and other commitments are taking all my time. So, I hope someone can finish the project or put the parts to good use.
I am looking for £400 for the lot, which is quite reasonable I think. Perhaps some young builder can stretch to that.
The car is based on the Champion chassis. I have shortened the chassis by 4 inches, in the passenger compartment. This would be quite easy to lengthen again to book spec.
There are pics of the rolling chassis as in my archive. The chassis is currently disassembled since the pics were taken as I have weeded in the engine and gearbox support plates.
The sale includes the following items:
chassis
trailing links
Panhard rod
wish bones
axle - escort mk1, auto
engine - Escort mk 2 1300
Type 9 gearbox,
Type 9 extension (Jenkins design, David M built)
engine mounts - Westfield
nose cone - Caterham pattern unused
rear wings - unused
scuttle - bought from David M
exhaust - Westield
tank - steel, with sender
front wheels - minilite style, new tyres, wheels could do with refurb
rear wheels - new 13" minilite style wheels and tyres
loom - escort mk 2 from and rear
belts - red saebelt
pedals - GBS
master cylinder
rad
shocks - front and rear Westfield
rollbar - chrome Caterham item
uprights / disks/ calipers - refurbed Cortina
column / u joints - Granada column, sierra u joints

Location Motherwell, Scotland.

at that price I'm tempted too, but I've already completely filled my new shed with my current projects

Hi

If you decide to split it up, can i have first dibs on wheels and tyres, assuming the pcd/et is similar to my requirements

regards

steve

seems a bargain ! Damn shame you are in Scotland though ! Good luck with the sale anyway fella.

If I do split it, I'll let you know Steve.

I'm very interested in this as I'm looking for a project to keep me out of trouble over the winter.

As it's currently disassembled would it all fit into a LWB transit say?
