Anything's possible Mike. Just throwing ideas around at the moment.
I'm perfectly happy with the Pop. This is just something to play with.

Chris, I may have accidentally bought a fibreglass T bucket body from one of the Wild Bunch drag club guys!
 Could be fun.  But don't you have enough to do with the Pop and XS? |

Nah, it's much more fun to still be wrestling with 'em the day before the test! Met one of my fellow commercial vehicle SVA test dummies at the drag races Kev. He'd heard all about my brake woes through you. Unfortunately I can't remember his name & I didn't catch what vehicle he owned! (it was kinda noisy in the pits). |

Not sure. Slim guy, short dark hair, (I'd be useless as a witness!).

Nope, you wouldn't. Nearly forgot Jon may have been there , another who used SVA on a commercial before it ran out.

That might be useful Ben. Been chatting to Loony & we're now seriously thinking of using Reliant power. A standard Reliant's good for 80mph +, they're cheap to run, cheap to insure & it'd be fun to do something with a small engine rather than a V8, (Loony's got a supercharger from a modern Mini that would plonk straight on). I'm going on holiday in a couple of weeks so money's super tight until I get back, so we're just throwing ideas around, but could be an interesting project & a nice link to my previous Reliant trikes too.

Hiya Ron. Definitely a budget build -a pocket money rod. I'm kinda hoping some of the gentlemen of the workshop will get involved, or donate spares -if they wanna use it they've gotta work on it. I bid on a T bucket body on Ebay last week. The guy was selling the body, chassis & a track T nose cone in 3 separate auctions, so I bid on all 3. Lost out on the body & chassis but won the nose -with no car to fit it to. It was about 20 quid but paid for with change in my PayPal account from merchandise sales here. So we'll either use that or hang it on the workshop wall. I like traditional T grille shells, but it depends what works with the style we end up with. Planning on running a full bonnet on it. |
