Fully welded chassis with a few mods based on the Saturn plans, mostly to improve strength in places. This is partly panelled (floor, bulkheads, rear panel and 1 tunnel side done) with plenty of material to finish the job, paint is not the greatest.
A full set of Eunos parts mostly as taken from the car it was a 1.6. Comes with v5 and ID so age related reg should be no probs.
Full set of 8 wishbones brand new made by Phil.
Brand new radiator
Fabricated engine mounts
2.9 ratio quick rack, just needs refurb completing, gaiters included.
Brand new OBD pedal box with remote reservoirs
Bearing for steering column
Brand new ball joints for front end
Extra set of alloy wheels plus daisy pattern ones from the Eunos, 4 good tyres.
Nosecose & bonnet different colours as intended to paint them anyway.
Set of powder coated brake calipers, standard rears and what I think are Mazda 323( gti?) fronts
A mobile build stand which looks rough but has taken the full weight easily when it was dry fitted

I got this lot for £750..

Collected it last week,

Plan is at the moment, spend a couple of years cleaning, measuring positioning and fettling,!!

I have a load of students that I'm getting to do odd jobs also!

Small world, I studied electronic engineering at Bromley collage!

Thanks to that I now have a great job. I dont think you would of taught me though both of the guys were oldish (50s) and did not look like they were into cars.

I graduated in 2005. One of my close friends is also one of the IT support guys there. Does database support or something.

Welcome along.





Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
