Newbie Ultima question

[sjc]

Before I start to get too excited by the ownership proposition could anyone point me in the direction of companies that inspect cars for prospective owners? Thanks

[G Man]

Apart from the factory of course, many of the cars are well known here , so ask ...
Do you know what you are looking for, search the forum there has been many threads as to what parts are desired on a car ie AP racing brakes, factory shock, air con - good info

I know of few "garages" that would have the knowledge of Ultima required ... I don't know if people in the "business" on the forum would put their hand up, people like gtrclive have built 2 ultima that I know of

There's a few of us who've built more than one (in both flavours), so there's plenty of experience here.

As G Man said, a lot of the cars are known to the forum contributors, so best bet is probably to find one with the right spec. have a look at it and then if you're serious, get the factory or a local owner to give it the once over.

I'm sure you'll find people are more than happy to help with advice.

Oh and if someone offers you an Ultima GTR with 2 wonks stuck to the engine bay bulkhead .... smile, say no and buy me a beer for a great story ...

Thanks for the speedy replies, the other problem I have is along the lines of th "I don't fit post"! I'm 6'4 all in the legs ( sounds like a lonely hearts ad!)and will de. need the lowered floor at the very least.
Does anyone know anything about the blue GTR in the classfieds priced in the mid 20's?

[GTWayne]

I have a pal that is 6'4"and it was a tight squeeze to say the least for him to fit into his GTR.Have you considered a CanAm?

[crafty]

Some people say they'd give their left nut for an Ultima.

Have you considered slicing the top of your head off, or grinding your legs down a bit.

[Graham-P]

If you want to check out a CanAm then drop me a line, by the look of it you're not that far from me.
