Awwww holy Jebus! Dan, Dan, Dan.........

Well, if you feel you've gotta move on from this project then I wish you all the best with selling it.

But man, it has soooo much potential!

Paul, my brother will finish his soon enough and that will be quicker than mine ever would be - big valve KAD 1380 running BD4's through a 6 speed dog box and well under 600kgs.....


Even so Dan, you must finish it, or just put it away until you can

ha ha! now theres a thought mate! unfortunately my circumstances have changed slightly now and i could no longer afford/accomodate it.

whoever gets hold of that engine and gets it into a fairly light mini is in for a real treat, i can assure you.

Rightio....off the top of my head - I havent been down to the shed yet to remember exactly what I have got.

Engine - freshly rebuilt KAD 1380 - more details seperately.

Part restored shell - new heritage floor, inner wings, a panels, toe board and sills. This shell would be suitable for a serious project but it needs finishing and it has been cut up a lot - front bulkhead is gone, boot floor is gone, heel board has sections out for where my trailing arms were going to go etc.....

Custom cages group A roll cage - brand new, weld in model. Also a handfull of extra CDS tube to build the rear end up.

Massive brakes - tarox 6 pots, mounting kit, 11inch vented disks on alloy bells. The ultimate brakes without a doubt. Provisionally sold

Z cars rear trailing arms - complete with disks & calipers, wheel bearings and drive flanges etc.

Z cars front subframe with integral anti roll bar mounts.
Provisionally sold

Kad front and rear anti roll bars.
Provisionally sold

Maniflow miglia exhaust - stainless steel special order.

Curley carbon fibre bits - Doors, boot floor, door cards, boot lid.

Curley carbon dash - as installed in my car complete with all the clocks / gauges and a complete wiring loom attached. This complete setup weighs about 5 kilos.

Cobra Suzuka seats with side mounts.
Provisionally sold

Speedex rear beam axle, complete with radius arms, drums and some scabby SPAX coil overs.

Full set of polycarb windows - tinted, with sliders in the front sides.

More when I remember what i've got.

Cheers,
Dan

Not sure my PM is working. Please email [email protected].

If you are also selling the gearbox let me know how much you want for that

Thanks

To all that have asked - the gearbox is not for sale seperately - I am hoping to sell the engine and box as a complete unit, it would be a shame to split it.

Thanks for all the messages - I am trying to keep up with them all.
