A very, very impressive skill set and imagination you have there. I guess this will be me visiting this forum for a few years as this takes shape. I wish you the best of luck with your project!

Thanks very much I am hoping to have it completed in the next 3 years.

Looks like you'll be on the wiring by tuesday at this rate, very impressive.

Chassis off the jig and gave it a coat of primer.

Just love this build. So we have by comparison;

• 1250kg ish - about the same as an Ultima GTR
• Square box section of a larger diameter
• Lots of triangulation!

I would wager that the torsional rigidity (moments of twist) would be better than an Ultima chassis and you haven't had to pay Ted for the privilege

Cracking project! I think it's going to have a touch of Lola T70 looks somewhere down the line

Bookmarked

Roughly speaking, what body style will it be - SS100 or XJ220?

[Hooli]

Looks even more impressive now. The back wheels are reminding me of Mad Max, I think it's the tyres - anyone sad enough to know for sure?

Looks ace!

We cannot wait that long.......

Seriously top marks for taking this on.

I bookmarked this thread when it was made, fully expecting to never see it again, yet another legendary PH thread where the sum of fk-all happens, the OP disappears, sitting hunched over his PC, his shoulders bobbing up and down as he giggles at the stir he's caused.

I clicked on this thread again, surprised it had gone to seven pages, I thought I'd see seven pages of derision aimed at no-one.

I was wrong, this is the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life, I can't wait to see how it all turns out.

The Top Job continues. . .are you feeling the collective 'get it done feeeling' OP ?

[S2Mike]

+1 watching with great interest and admiration. Top Job Sir. !

[NathanD]

I cannot believe you have a achieved this much in just two weeks!

My car has been off the road for a year now, and basically, just for an engine rebuild...

Amazing work!

[Biker's Nemesis]

Will it fit through the garage doors when it's finished?

Keep the updates coming, I love stuff like this.

[S2Mike]

Oh yes, it does look like a pretty close call !!

[Fastdruid]

Having done some chassis alterations to my kitcar build I can fully appreciate the amount of work that's gone into this so far. It's a lot of work, especially if you're doing it properly!

Also not sure about the OP but I have spent many hours staring at various bits going "So how am I going to make this work then?"

[zedx19]

Quite possibly one of the best threads I've seen for a while, amazing!!!
