+4" GTS Bodywork and homebuilt chassis + engines
It's time to get rid of my Locost project, I haven't touched it in several years and I need to clear the room so I can get my Striker into
my basement.
I have a full set of W7DE GTS bodywork in (I think) Oxford blue (it's a dark blue anyway). It includes the Nose, bonnet, scuttle, front and
rear wings, rear panel and side panels. One of the side panels has a small chunk of gel coat missing - it arrived from GTS like this  I
originally paid about £650 for this.
The chassis I bought from someone else, but ended up virtually rebuilding it. It comes with:
Luego wishbones including bushes.
Cortina front uprights and hubs
GTS De-dion axle + trailing arms rose jointed at one end + panhard rod.
Push-in Sierra rear diff (I also have an LSD diff).
A set of Spax coilovers.
A new (old stock) Escort steering rack with nicely made steel TRE extensions (none of the alloy crap) and TREs.
A pair of Cobra style roll hoops (not fitted).
A set of 15 alloys with tyres.
A small alloy fuel tank which was brand new but is looking a bit oxidised now 
The chassis is currently on axle stands with very little attached to it. One of the cockpit side tubes is currently cut out of the chassis in order to
modify it for the GTS side panels (slopes down like a Caterham instead of straight like a locost), but there is a bracing tube tacked in to keep the
chassis straight. I have some 25mm 16 gauge tubing to complete this. The chassis has a welded steel floor.
I also have a Vauxhall C20XE engine (Redtop) with a shallow alloy sump and a suitable alloy bellhousing for a Ford box (no box though). There is a
Yukspeed engine mount kit for this as well, basically a selection of tubes, plates and bushes usually used when installing this engine into Escorts
etc. but perfect for a Locost. Also have the original inlet manifold+throttle body and the original (FWD) exhaust manifold plus a spare laser cut
exhaust manifold flange.
I also have a 2.0 Injection Pinto with a cut down steel sump that came with the chassis from the previous owner, so of unknown providence. It looks
in good condition from the outside and turns over fine. I have some of the EFI parts, inlet manifold, fuel rail, airbox, AFM but no ECU.
I don't have any pictures as it's all packed into my basement at the moment, but happy to answer any questions.
Reasonable offers invited for any or all. I really need the space, so ideally want to get rid of the chassis as a whole rather than selling odd bits.
If someone wants to take bodywork+chassis+engine I'm prepared to listen to bargain level offers.
Collection only from Plymouth.
Just on the off-chance - if someone has a tidy, late, Suzuki SV650S I would be happy to part-ex (obviously with a chunk of cash their way).
