hello
i am thinking of starting a locost project using a rover 3.5 v8.

so before i start, i would like to know what are the main parts that i require.

i have looked at the mcsorley 7+4 plans & was going to use these as a starting point ,along with the GTS W7DE body kit.(will the bonnet fit without mods ? )

so here goes -
what is the best car to obtain an engine / gearbox from ?

do i use a sierra rear axle capri with the above mentioned plans,if so ,from which model/ratio ?

prop

front hubs/disc brakes

pedalbox

anything else i should be aware off ?

i did consider a westfield starter kit,but for the price difference i thought i would give it a go buiding from scratch.

i really need to know an answer to these questions ,so i can get me head around it all before i start & maybe source some parts before i start the build

thanks for looking
