 See how the idea started !

In a change to the initial plan, the rear axle was moved back 5 inches to keep the engine weight a bit more central...

After 6 months cogitating, the real build begins...

Finalising the shell and engine bay.

Nice bit of painting

Getting the rear end tidy.

Running the engine & making flames !

Simple V8 to  UN1 adapter plate & flywheel

Shell taking shape and driveshafts. 

Getting the exterior finished

Designing the graphics

Exhaust system under construction

Wheels, wheels, wheels...

Swing arms & rear suspension construction

Jaguar remote water pump

Modified Fuel Tank

Sierra Scorpio rear brakes

Wiggly gear linkage

Gearbox mountings
