Hi mate , this is where my space frame chassis has sat for the past 2 years , in the roof of my small shed , along with it are all the fiberglass bits needed, the axle, wiring loom ,lights etc
the engine & box is sat on the floor,
I just dont have the time to finish it
the chassis took me about 2 weeks to build, i cut all the steel by hand with a hacksaw, i followed the instructions in the book quite closley
I had a bit of trouble finding the CDS tube to fabricate the suspension wishbones (they all wanted to sell me a big lenth)
for me the easy bit was making the chassis as i am a panel beater by trade (everyone i have talked to that has built one has said its the hardest part)
the most expensive bit is getting the 4 coilover shock absorbers .

this is another shot of my chassis in the roof , if you look carefully you can make out the rear axle and the headlights (from a 2cv)
