Re: A new challenger 'The Beast from the East'

Apparently the RX7 will be back with me this month! Will still need some work to get it running again, but its all stuff I can do. Can't wait! Even better at the end of the year I can register it as a VHI. As extreme as these modifications are, they can all be justified under the quite loose critier...

Re: A new challenger 'The Beast from the East'

Collection off FB parts, some new some used. And an FC engine.

OK so I'm having a bit of a clear out & I've got a shedload of stuff that I don't need anymore due to the path my projects taken. No pics right now, but will upload them if people want to see. No prices either, just make me a fair offer. Anything that doesn't sell here goes on facebook or eBay. ...

Re: A new challenger 'The Beast from the East'

I have to confess, as I may have mentioned before, that the majority of the fab / welding work is being carried out by someone else. Sheet metal I'm actually OK at as I spent half a year doing it for my apprenticeship, but I can't weld, work full time & am rebuilding a boat as well! Still, Andy ...
