Hi all starting new build...

[Alfa Ric]

Hi all, new member from Swindon.
Starting to collect bit and bobs to build my Kitcar
Picking up engine (V8) next Friday and if I have the time gearbox/rear axel on Saturday.
Very nice Site this one and hope to have a helping hand in my quest because I have lots of questions about all the building process.

Welcome Ric   What V8 are you getting?

[Alfa Ric]

Thanks everybody.
It's a 71 Rover V8 twin carb ( SU something)
Right now I don't know exactly what type of car/model its going to be but will have to decide in the next few weeks.
Going to a local scrap this Saturday because I have seen there a nice chassis with GRP body (body is damaged/broken) or even if it is a kitcar or one of UK small production cars (there is a plate with S/N on it) will take some pictures to see if someone can identify it.

If you use a car that's already beed registered then you can just put it back on the road as a rebuild. No IVA test required.  Much easier than having to go through the hassle of VOSA and the DVLA.

[Bulldog Bri]

Which scrapy is it in?

Don't worry I'm not going to run out and get it before you, I've got enough cars to work on
