Hi
The plan is to build a basic cheap kit.
I am 6'2" will I fit in the Ron champion kit car?
How do I modify this car to use sierra running gear?
I can get my hands on a sierra fairly easily.

or
Would you just suggest I get a mk Indy?
Was also thinking of Robin Hood, but I remember reading somewhere that there were some issues with the front suspension brackets or some thing.
I might be wrong though. I do know that Robin Hood is under new ownership and is changing things.

Thanks

Try here for the Ron Champion car, www.locostbuilders.co.uk/, I believe there are drawings somewhere for sierra rear end, but check for the corrections to the book aswell, apparently there are some errors.

Robin hoods have a reputation on here for requiring a lot more work than is listed and problems with chassis' not being straight.

How about the Tiger Avon as I believe that uses the Sierra as the donor. Looks like a good option if you don't want to fabricate your own chassis
