Dr H Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 What is included in the first 'build pack' ? Lots of boxes........ Garage looked like this at 09:00am David and I went over to Lister Bell with a Luton Van and collected this: And these (amongst other stuff): Fitted nicely in the van: Luckily had a third helper to get it back out: And now I need to work out what to do with all this! Will be Sunday before I get to go through all the bits and work out an initial plan of action. Massive thanks to David Whalley for storing one of the Lotus and for helping me collect stuff today and taking pics as I was too wrapped up in getting it all sorted and back home.

Dr H Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Very exciting Leigh!! I'm feeling a bit jealous.... A good way to reduce the feeling of jealousy is to help those you are jealous of Now that's cool! I have to say it's a good looking chassis. However, after helping to move 2 S1 chassis last night I can say that this one is fooking heavy in comparison. About twice the weight I reckon. But I suppose if does have subframes and a 'roof' on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr H Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 And a roll cage...I just fitted a roll cage to an S1 and it weighs a tonne. There you go then All up the completed car should around 900kg. Half of that will the chassis and wheels I don't have them yet but they must be the heaviest wheels in the bloody world!

Dr H Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Nice. That's a Hawk Stratos by the looks of it. When I saw the cars at Lister Bell yesterday and another almost complete car on the way home in Kegworth (dropping some bits off to another Lister Bell builder) it reminded me why I want to do this.
