Ultima Chassis No. 001

Best way would be to put a wanted on the club site and even in the kit mags!

Often people forget about there kit sitting in the garage thinking they will get around to it one day (or when they have the money), an advert may prompt them into selling it.

Worth a try!

I've seen one of the early Ultimas (Noble days) for sale in bits (but most of them) for 2.5k, spoke to the seller who bought it in bits but never got round to finishing it.

It sounded like an excellent project for the experienced builder, SVA may have been a challenge though.

Where can I find out about more kits/part-builds?? Any Ideas?

as andy said keep an eye on the kit car websites,and kit mags there are loads of people out therewith unfinished projects cluttering up their garages, but remember you have to strip an unfinished to see how unstarted it really was!!!

James,
Where do you put the 100liter bag? and have you done any of the JCC races yet..

The fuel tank is where the seats used to be. I modified the tank bulkhead to give me the basic seat shape, then used A+B foam to manufacture the rest of the seats. It's rather tight, but I can fit in there ok.

I did all of last season in the Centurion Challenge. Came 4th in the championship overall, and won my class. I didn't race this year, because Glebe spent the whole damn season rebuilding my gearbox But I try to forget my recent experience with them....

Last time I was talking to Ted at the factory, he said that it's very rare for somebody to sell an Ultima as a part build. Almost everybody who buys the kit finishes it.

Worth sticking an ad in the kit car magsa though, as I'm sure there must be a few around.
