i post on here so i don't spend money on the car
will need IVA, its a spaceframe chassis, but i'll get it working and THEN worry about IVA. might seem a silly way to do it, but i know
there's stuff like that bar down the window which will be an issue, so i'll get it all running first, then concentrate on IVA stuff
trying to calm down on the posting too lol
ooh the spec, well... and here's why its taken so long lol:
Engine & Cooling:
-vauxhall X20XEV on ZX9R carbs, with megajolt
-full stainless 4-2-1 exhaust, currently being modded (still) as it was for a C20XE engine
-mk4 transit radiator, and custom header tank, bracket still being made
Ford sierra type 9 gearbox
front suspension:
-SHP wishbones, not sure which shocks though
- Bedford Midi van front uprights and brakes
-mk2 escort quick rack (2.4 turns?)
rear suspension:
ford capri atlas axle, retubed, shortened, Quaife half shafts, chassis specific bracketing
-sierra brake calipers
-not sure what the discs are... they are the fronts off of something though
er, think thats all the main stuff. no idea about power or anything yet  will need to get it running and find out, then work out how to improve it

I think you might need to update your 'building' line, Blake - your engine is hardly an 'Ecotec' any more, I don't
think?

The X20XEV is an 'Ecotec' engine.

the body is nowhere near perfect, so it'll be plain white to start with. then i might start getting a bit more adventurous later. came up with
an idea yesterday, i might repaint it every winter ha ha different colours every year
more photos, obviously lots of tiding up of hoses and cables to do
