How many died to give life to one??
I was just chating with swmbo about the motor and I came up with this thought.....
How many different types of vehicle have you used in the build of your cars?? so far I am up to 14 that I can think of with...
Ford cortina - engine
" " Sierra - Box & running gear
" " Fiesta - HT leads / vr sensor
" " Focus - Pipe work for rad
" " Escort - Side repeater bulb holders
" " Mundano - edis & bits
VW Polo - Radiator
VW Golf - Wheels (ebay)
Mini - Wiper motor
Rover 200 - Header tank
Alfa 156 - side repeater lenses
Daewoo matiz - alternator
ZX9R - Carbs
Mk supplyed- ball joints etc...
There many more still to come but I havn't bought them yet such as wipers, wing mirrors and front indicators etc.
Get thinking...
john.
ps. appologies if this has been covered before, I couldn't find anything!!

Erm between three and five?
1 x Sierra (wheels, diff, brakes, propshaft, hubs, steering, battery).
1 x Kawasaki ZZR1100 (engine, loom, carbs, fuel pump, CDI, coils, thermostat, expansion bottle, mirrors)
1 x Caterham (radiator)
