Latest project (Scimitar V8 IRS/IFSe etc) ....

... which I started collecting bits for last year is this Scimitar



which has had all its running gear removed and disposed of, to be replaced with bits and pieces from a Mazda RX8 and a Lexus

Basically, RX8 subframes and suspension (and wheels/tyres steering assembly etc) welded to Scim chassis. 1UZFE and auto box to power. As much of RX8 interior to replace manky old Scimitar interior including dash, seats etc. Also going to use Mazda ABS, aircon, wiper assemblies, airbags, whole loom etc etc

More details and slow progress updates

Cheers

Nice project, got a mate who is putting an aj30 from an s type in one and has another with an omega 3.2 v6. Kev leapers (PPP) project with a s type r (4.2 v8 supercharged) engine sold on eBay a couple of months ago.

Keep us posted, great project.

Love those cars - you don't see many around these days!

My Dad had a cream coloured one many years ago and I recall being taken on holiday in it. My two sisters and I + luggage crammed in the rear of it

If space and cash were available I'd take one on now for "modernisation" with up to date power and suspension.

Keep us posted on your progress + photos please.

My dad had one. I think he had one of all the reliant's. Never got to go in it as it was in worse state than the one above .

I always wanted to do a V8 Scimitar, are you going to try and retain the Wolfrace wheels?
