I get the plans online, and a good friend of me, lend me his car to can get some measurements. And I have great help in that web site. Thanks!!!

looks like the next job is making the glassfiber panels. Is there something like our SVA test or is it easier to get it on the road?

Here is very very dificult have the SVA, like all the things here, but I can drive my locost with the papers of the donnor car, and 10 dollar bill to the polce guys, but if the police try to catch me , I have 120 hp under the bonnet of my locost to fly away, jejeeee.
The glassfiber is done, just need some paint.

Unfortunately (?) that wouldn't work in the UK, you'd need a bit more than 120bhp, and if/when they put up the helicopter there isn't anything fast enough.

Nice tidy build you've got there.

Nice tits.

Looking good.
By the way if you want more power you should gain about an extra 10% if you fit a free flow, four branch exhaust manifold rather than the cast one that's on your engine.
Also if you haven't already visited it go to www.guy-croft.com - he really knows Fiat/Lancia twin cams inside out.
Cheers, Pewe

The exhaust manifold in the pics, was the donor exhaust, I will build a brand stainless steel manifold exhaust.
